I went to the local loch at the weekend to photograph the BHGs, they are nesting on a small island in the middle of the loch....so there was plenty around...It was a white cloud day, the strong sun, was filtering through the clouds...For this shot I exposed for the whites, which made the dark BG, even darker....Then I reduced the shadows on the BG and added a wee bit contrast...I thought it looked good against the whites on the bird....Although named Black Headed Gull, the head is actually a chocolate brown colour...
