I have posted this image into the Sky Watch Friday world because of way the light from the Sun has bleached the outer feathers of this bird to a pure white. While you can see the sky, it the feathers that tell how bright and clear a day it was.
I think that this means it qualifies as being a sky image, where the main thing is a lack of sky, but you really do know what the sky is like!
You can find more images of the sky at Sky Watch Friday.
Enjoy the skies!
A grand gull and well captured.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit it too, Stewart, I'm a gull fan as well! The lighting on the gull is beautiful! Nice shot!

Reminds me of a day at the park on the Victor Harbor waterfront. I had some chips, and was surrounded by at least 50-60 gulls...and they weren't taking no for an answer! A terrific capture of this chip stealer, and the beautiful blue sky!

Great action shot!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful how the gull accentuates the blue sky -- or is it the other way round.
