Kelp Gull

This image was taken exactly a year ago while we were down at the coast for a long weekend. Sometimes I wish I could spend more time photographing marine birds and sea life.

Looks alot like some of the gulls we have here. Love this one. I think the white water on the bottom gives it a great base. Might lighten the far wing just a bit.

Stuart, this is very good. Loved the wave and exposure/processing is very goos as always. well done on the crop too.

Other than wishing for a bit more of a bank, this is pretty much perfect. Nice light and wave, and SH.

Stuart, I'd be happy with this any day! Nice details and flight pose.

[Stu Bowie]

Thanks for the great feedback guys and Denise.

Hi mate, I like the detail, exposure and flight angle. The multi coloured BG (Sky, sea and break) takes this over the top. Nice sharp eye too. Well done.

[Markus Jais]

Wonderful flight shot. Great light and sharpness. I love the ocean and wave in the BG.
