Orange County, CA

Nikon D1X, 80-400mm, no flash

I had to dig into the archives to find some Gull shots for the motif. Not the most attractive or uncommon bird I've posted but it certainly fits for this week.

The complementary color of the background works very well.

Steve,

Excellent portrait. I like the open bill and how well the background complements the bird.
