No fish, few tourists throwing food and that too snatched away by the bigger birds. No wonder these two look somewhat downcast.

My entry for the contest.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.

You've pictured their 'misery' perfectly Raj. 'Winter Blues' indeed, so a very good entry for the contest.

Good Luck my friend.

Regards, Cornelius.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

They need to hunt down a nice, full trash dumpster to get through the hungry winter months. You certainly have the elements for the contest Raj.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

A Coot and a Gull, I'm sure there's a Song in there somewhere.

Gotta feel for God's Critters, Life can sometimes be rather cruel to all.

The lighting is excellent. Provides the perfect scene for these birds, and your capture is really superb, the sensation of cold water comes through.

It says it all about the bitterness of winter.

Now did you throw them any food Raj? after all they deserve a commission for their photograph.
On a sensible note you were fortunate to get that ray of sunshine on the Coot as they have such dark eyes.

Cool upload.
