    Shot this at a local park this year. I like the golden water and its movement. Cropped just a little since I cut of the darn tail feathers.

    Hi Cheryl,

    Incredible capture!! Love the droplet and ripples formed by it. Also liked the background, pose and details.

    Beautiful image ... nicely seen and executed! Love the water colors, the droplet, and ripples ... and great pose to go with it!

    Looks like it could use a CW rotation.

    Hi Cheryl, I like the 'show off' pose, and well exposed on the whites. You have brought out the feather detail nicely, and I do like the golden texture of the water BG.

    Hi Cheryl,
    The color of the water is what makes the image special. Love the satin swirly look of the water as well.
    Like the head position of the gull.The water droplet is fun. IQ is really good.
    I would rotate CW a bit.
    Lovely shot,
    Gail

    Crop works for this one. The beautiful BG saved what might be just an ordinary image. Well done.

    I think this is gorgeous, Cheryl. I love the colors, and the feeling the pose evokes. Really lovely.
