OOOH!!, that's beautiful beach, so well captured and presented. The B&W treatment is ideal for this shot. TFS

Can you talk to the gulls?
Do you in fact have feathers?
As Tycooder mentioned can you fly?
Just a great bloody shot Beach thanks for sharing.

Beach, great composition. Your placement of the gull in the frame is outstanding. Its wings outstretched, curving upward, I can feel the wind pushing it upward and holding it aloft while it glides.
