I was shooting from above on the chatham fish pier upper deck, and caught the gull in mid-preen... the sunlight and shadow did the rest... (p.s. - best if viewed full screen)

Wonderful use of light and shadow, Mary. The detail and focus is extraordinary, too.

You are right HF. It is best viewed full preen. Great capture. You have my head bobbing with these two posts. One looking up and the other looking down. Great work. Have a good day.

An absolute stunner. It couldn't be better if the gull posed for the shot.

This is sooo beautiful, really so beautiful. I just love this picture. I'm glad you were able to capture such a rare body position - very unique. And perfectly crisp too!
