530 - Seagull Portrait

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted April 19, 201271 views2 comments
This was shot a few years ago with a Sony-F707. The seagull was standing on the railing of a pier and I was in my truck less than 10 ft away. In the thumbnail its easy to see that the boat harbor is the background but its not so obvious in the larger versions. The snow on it's beak provides a hint of the season.

ISO-100, f2.8, 1/400

Nice seagull shot, Gary! I like the close-up comp of the seagull and the good detail in this portrait. The snow on his beak is an interesting touch.
