Thanks Robert. Did you notice how different the NZ gulls are compared to what we have here in So. Cal.? #10462552

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) #10463028

Description

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.
