Nothing exciting here, but I think the low angle and OOF gull in the BG make this a bit more interesting than it otherwise would be. Comments are welcome.

James,

I agree with Murphy..............and your bird is a Great Black-backed Gull not a Herring

I like the unsual angle, the other bird is easily cloned out.

Jim,
I haven't been around for awhile and missed this one. I have to disagree with the majority about the OOF bird in the background. I think it adds to the image. Just my .02 cents. The low angle really makes it unique.
