My first image post on NatureScapes.
I couldn't resist the gull motif.

Taken at Honeymoon Island (Dunedin, FL) last May.
Nikon D70, 80-400 VR lens.
F/16 @ 1/500 with matrix metering and -.3 compensation.

Great viewpoint and an image with impact.
You've captured the colours of the mouth superbly here and they make a great contrast to the darker coloured beak. 8)

It looks like he is going to shallow your camera lens. Great shot. Thanks for posting.
