It may not be easy but you made it look that way. Excellent use of light. The gull looks like it's wings are on fire. The water looks like it's on fire as well. Very unusual photo with this lighting. Great capture Mary.

The colors, the light, and the movement of the bird on the water all make this stellar shot!

Not only have you made the bird look fantastic but also the sea as well. Difficult or no this is a wonderful picture.

Wow, these are such amazing colour combinations. I don't think I've ever seen so much coruscating gold colour on the sea.

My Dear Friend Mary..you did it again..OH MY GOSH..this is such a fantastic photo capture, now I will have to take off the "Young Love" on my monitor and put this lovely Seagull photo on it!!! You have captured the colour of the sunset on the sea just perfectly. Mary, please please write a poem for this one too, and the young love one..it would be just wonderful, I just know it.Tell me, were you far away and zoomed in on this seabird ? or were you swimming in the water?!! LOL....I love this photo!!! Hugs of congrats..verena

Mary, the colors are stunning. But... did we forget to work...the focus knob?

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.

Third eye wonders about focus. I rather think Mary was honing in on the firestorm on the waves. This is a beauty!

stunning colors and I like how you have captured the bird with that light on his wings but Rob is right about the focus but that is because the bird was moving while you took the shot so never mind:))
