    Default Lift Off at Canaveral

    Taken in February along the shoreline of Canaveral National Seashore Park, Titusville, FL, and at that point in the afternoon when the first drafts of cooler air lift off the beach, this gull didn't need to pay me any mind at all, and I was fine with that. Post work in Lightroom and Photoshop and other refinements with Topaz DeNoise.

    Classic gull-in=flight image. A bit on the cool side as far as white balance goes with a bit of a bluish cast as well on the blacks, and I would not run NR on the subject, if that is what happened here. Well focused though. You must see them in breeding plumage in Maine in early spring? Great looking gulls at that time!

    Agree with Dan re the blue cast...You got great detail on the face with a nice flight pose.

    Thank you both for getting me back on track with the WB. This is more like it, I should hope!
