The Seagull came closer

[Preacherman]

Yesterdays seagull came at me so fast I didn't have time to zoom out, but managed this. Kinda like his dark side and light side though, even if I did clip his wings.

Such a beautiful bird Paul. Clipped wings... eh... it looks just fine to me.
I too love the dark side and the light side... it adds depth to this shot.
Great way to end my day... Good night

looks so majestic in its flight. great capture (even with clipped wings!)

[JustJim]

No, no, no, Paul. You should have been holding a white, or perhaps gold, fill card under the (camera) left wing to help balance the lighting.

Wild models are just so difficult to direct, aren't they? Some of the wild human models are the worst!

Great shot, I really do like the dark wing/light wing er, thing!

Pretty cool shot Paul. Amazing you got that close when it was in flight.

Great shot Paul, I think the clipping of thew wings adds to the photo, love the shadows on his dark side.
Great one mate.

Like I always say, "Sometimes you just got to take the shot"
This one turned out just fine Paul, very clear focus and lot's of detail.
Thanks for sharing this
