Flying dangerously close to the sun

Flying dangerously close to the sun
On a recent visit to New Zealand we visited a windy beach with gulls riding the wind. I took a chance and shot this gull "dangerously close to the sun" and hoped for the best. I tweaked the levels and masked some darker areas such as the beak and feet to maintain contrast.

Dale Hardin 		  Thanks Robert. Did you notice how different the NZ gulls are compared to what we have here in So. Cal.?

Dale Hardin 		  Thanks Michelle and I like your new logo. Got a kick out of your "Go Navy" shot. As an old Navy man, I appreciate the support. :o)
