This Ring-billed Gull was taken with a Canon 7D MkII and a 400mm, f/5.6 'L' lens. In the original, the sky was a flat blue. I substituted an evening red sky to enhance the subject.

I rarely encourage anyone to look at the image on 'download' but perhaps this time you might to like to see the detail.

I laud you on you color choice for the background Joe. It sets off the bird rather nicely.

Great shot - looks like something out of "Watership Downs"

Thank you Bob. A plain blue sky didn't do it justice.

I had to look that up since I had no idea what that was. Now I do and indeed there is a resemblance. Thank you so much for pointing that out.

An absolutely awesome image,Joe! You made a gull look strikingly beautiful, almost pleasant. But your choice in sky is perfect. Those analogous hues as a backdrop for the white/gray bird is stunning.

Thank you Carla. A monochromatic sky didn't work well. Technically the gull came out well and I wanted to enhance it by using what I did.
