Soaring

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

This capture was taken at Joe Overstreet Landing on Friday. It was a gorgeous , peaceful morning and the gulls were sosring up above and the lighting was wonderful., Although we see these birds so often there was something special with the lighting that morning and I got a little carried away.

The light is lovely, Judy. I like the diagonal pose and headangle with catchlight is great

Hey Judy,

Love the light and wings position. Excellent angle and exposure control.

Glad you were going after gulls Judy I do like them a lot Got a beautiful diagonal pose with a very appealing sky Fully flared tail and good eye contact !!! Can only suggest to have the bird brighter Will have an even greater impact Big Congrats !!!

It is always a fun challenge to make an extraordinary image with an ordinary subject. Something I should pay more attention to when I start getting sick of gulls and canada geese. Very well done.

You made the common a thing of beauty Judy

The lighting is superb!!!

[David Hemmings]

Maybe just an old ring billed, but you sure made it shine in this image Judylynn!!

[George DeCamp]

Sweet light and love the soring wings and details. Nice diagonal too, well done Judy!

[Tony Kirkby]

Nice capture Judy. May be common in your neck of the woods but we don't see these very often in Australia!

[Mike McCarthy]

Very nice capture Judy. Wonderful wing position and light in this one. Our gulls are not this pretty....usually. Too many with missing feathers and legs. :-(

[Terry Olmsted]

Beautiful work, Judy. Perfect exposure, lighting, composition. Thanks for sharing this!
