My heart soars with the bird

Posted by Walt (Scarborough, Canada) on 27 August 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Loved this one, same gull as yesterday (as I recall, anyways). Really happy with the shot overall.

Halifax was a neat city to visit - I'd like to go back and have a few days to explore, not just one.

Cool angle - were you on a boat or a bridge?

@Rabbit: I was on the edge of the harbour, which is a fair height from the water in Halifax. Luckily, the bird took off and went down, giving a fairly good view, IMHO.

I like the simplicity and the smooth texture in the background!

Great shot! This reminds me of a shot I took. I would be happy if you can take a look at it also, if you have time. What i love about your picture is that you got the back of the gull, that is hard in my opinion.
