Default Angelic Gull

Hi everybody. Sorry i've not been around too much. I thought I'd better post something. I was having a bad day on Sunday so it was down to the Marina for a coffee and a burger and let my Sony help me relax. I hope you enjoy.

Angelic Gull

Dave.

Wow Dave, this looks like a painting! It's gorgeous. You should rest more often if we get lovely pictures like this! Just kidding - hope you're doing well & feeling better.

David, This gull looks so peaceful he could be a Christmas Dove. You and peace should meet daily if this is the result! It's beautiful--the stuff of Hallmark cards and framed fine art!

Hi Dave,
how are you mate? well I hope. Now this image, I know how hard these birds are to capture as I have been trying for ages. But you have produced an awesome image which has captured them beautifully, I love the sharpness of the image around the birds main body and the bluring around it's wind tips. This is a beautiful image and I am so pleased to see it and you on here. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Take Care mate.
David.

Tack sharp and motion blur, both in the same photo. That's hard to do. And the background compliments this perfectly. Well done, Dave.
