The images lately here in Maine have been slim to say the least. We still have 4 feet of snow and ice all over. So while we were in Amesbury MA, we went to the docks and walked around the port. This Ring Billed Gull posed for 10 minutes. I decided to try to highlight the yellow eye and the red eye socket portrait style. With the bright sun and the ugly rail he was perched on I wanted to do something. What do you think?
