This is a seagull flying near the model boating lake on New Brighton Prom just quarter of a mile or so from where the kites were flying in "Let's Go Fly A Kite".
Waaaahh *Ducks quickly* That flipping thing almost had my chips then lol. This is a great shot Steve, looks as though he is about to fly right into your shoulder lol.
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
One suggestion: the cluttered background really takes away from the overall impact of the picture. Do you think you could photoshop out the background and insert a simpler one?
