this is an January '09 Ring Billed on a cloudy day with snow added
via mono noise/blur/levels/motion blur. 3 snow layers at screen blend mode.
One had extended motion blur for the stronger lines visible(works well for a sleet look)
thanks for looking and c/c....have a super weekend friends
Excellent composition, Dave. I love the effect. Your layers of snow really makes the difference. Excellent work.
Very nice Dave this works for me on all levels...white of gull...snow effect...all together make a pleasing image
Superb job w/ the snow/sleet look. The gull is perfectly placed within the frame and the BG colors just remind me of snow. Killer pose and eye contact. Love the raised foot.
thank you for comments friends
The raised foot is actually due to a broken leg that just swings.Quote:

Dave, I love the layers of snow and the crispness of the gull. It's a beautiful image.
Very nice image Dave! Perfect pose and the snow looks very realistic.
