Glaucus-winged Gull - Saint Paul Island, The Pribilofs, Alaska
EOS 1D, 300mm

Not a photo I had ever planned on posting but since we are at the end of gull week I thought I'd post it anyway.

Recognized the locaton from the thumbnail. What a trip...

I like the foot hanging down and the dark background. Sure beats my photos from that particular shoot!

Works nice against the dark background. The hanging foot and water drops add to the pic.

Nope! Just the white balance adjustment to make whites white and gray's gray.

EJ,

Very nice shot. I like the wing position and how well the bird projects from the background.
