Greater Black backed gull bathing in a puddle. Taken in my most favorite light. The sun peeked out from below a big gray cloud. Lasted all of about three minutes.

You have a twofer here Grace, a Gull bathing! A perfect easing from one month theme to the next!
The Gull is sharp as can be, nice splash and nice light.

Like the light and the image design. The image is way, way too dark overall. I pinned the whites and then pulled the curve up a mile. Got rid of a few drops of water and their shadows on the face of one of my favorite birds.

Thanks Artie. You are correct and I appreciate the work you did. I see a pink cast on your bird's head, what is causing this. The light in my scene was yellow.
BTW- Heckshire, Field 4. Always there.
