Mew Gull

One from the kayak off the coast of Victoria. I like how the yellow lichen on the rocks in the Bg really makes the bird POP!

Love the FG and BG, adds a lot of interest. Beautifully sharp and I like the comp. I wish the rock on the left didn't intersect his tail and wing feathers. Congrats

Have to agree on the benefit of the BG here. The orange rock on which it sits adds quite a bit as well. The pose is just right with a nice angle and head turn, and absolutely love light.

Thanks Glenn for sharing this one. Lovely white bird, and as you state, this one pops up really nicely.
