Hehe, I have never seen this photo before but I knew immediately it was yours, Robeta. I thought to myself, "No one else here can shoot a gull so well, this must be Roberta's. (*scrolls down) Yup!"

Hi Olaf,
The sky was a nice deep blue that day plus I had a polarizer on the lens. Thanks for your comments. Roberta

OK Roberta, fess up, this is actually a studio shot of a stuffed gull made by your husband
who happens to be a taxidermist! No? Gee I could have sworn...
On a more serious note, I think I would have liked the color of the sky to be a little more
realistic - is the dark blue a result of the polarizer only? --Olaf

Stunning shot, Roberta! You did a beautiful job of exposure here; it is so difficult to keep the highlights from blowing on a sunny day. Very nice!

Great sharpness and contrast+colors. You must have had very nice, bright wheather to be able to get that shutter speed with a PL attached! Rare to see a bird pic that's this clear. -Arn
