Here are some other shots from our trip to our local Harrison Bay State Park along the Tennessee River. I don't take many photos of gulls because their faces always seem sad to me, but I liked the feathers in this one, and I thought the B & W would accentuate their delicacy.

Fantastic set, Dianne. All "lookers," but that seagull is in a world class of its own! The angle and perspective, just awesome. Perfect in b&w.

Real nice professional looking job on these. Superb Quality. I need to arrange a outing for our Photography Club to this area sometime. I think that would be a fun trip.

I agree with Linda. I really dig the seagull! Who would have thought? :-) It reminds me of an xray in some aspects. Thank for sharing that beautiful set!

For impact and originality the gull is a sure winner! However, the sweet little Grebe is as prescious as can be. Excellent series!
