Snapped in Tarpon Springs, FL - a handsome Laughing Gull in contemplative mood watching the sun set over the Anclote River.
Processed through Photoshop using ReDynamix and then Topaz Simplify.
Pleasant composition, beautiful color and smooth tones especially the BG. Well done!
BTW I like your quote from Dorothea Lange. Some time ago I got to view an exhibit of her original prints. Very moving body of work.
