All about the Perch.
Arthur Morris deserves the credit for this and might not be thrilled that I jumped the gun on him.
He spotted the Western Gull on this perch and immediately stopped, jumped 10 feet left for sun angle and
I just followed.
Although it looks staged, it is not.
Taken at Bay City, Oregon.

Arash, I showed this to Artie on the bus ride home (viewed on my IPad), and his reaction was,
"It would have been a nice shot if the wings were up".
I agree.
I love this site!

Killer perch and works all around for me!
Fantastic perch and beautiful light. OK, so the wings aren't fully extended. But the position they're in adds to the handsome comp, mimicking the curve of the perch. Well done.
This is very, very good Dan. The quality is remarkable, I love it all and I love that perch.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

I agree with more upright wings however still like the image for it good detail, head angle and blue BG colours.
Am thrilled so there! Love the perch--nice job of removing the bit of whitewash, and the perch and light are too, too sweet. Wish only that the wings were fully raised. It was great meeting you.
