Seagull over fiery ocean
Here's a seagull that I shot in Florida at sunset. I had to spice it up a bit in Photoshop...

Canon 5D mark II
300mm @ f/2.8
1/1250th
ISO 250

Very nice. The light is incredible. I would probably crop out just a bit of the oof foreground.

Really outstanding shot, Aaron! Ditto on Ed's suggestion...

Very interesting effect and colors. Did you get any shots with a lower camera angle? Just curious how it would have looked.

Thanks everyone! It's rare to catch light like this. Daniel- I can see how that would be an interesting perspective, and I wish I would have thought of that while shooting...

Yes the color of the light reflecting on the water really makes this shot Aaron! I even like the hint of light penetrating between some of the feathers.
