Thanks Amanda, your comment is very kind and encouraging.
This shot was pretty easy compared to others I've taken.
It was the light on this bird that caught my attention and the gull seemed in no hurry to leave its perch so I cautiously approached and waited till he moved his head into a position that put the light on its eye.
If you pay attention to the light and keep practicing, I'll bet that in no time you too will get some great bird images. #8762057
