Check out this gull. Sun was setting on the lake. Sun was below the horizon behind me. The glow is a high cloud in the background. Gull lit with SB800 flash.

Totally bizarre! Looks like a taxidermy gull in a diorama... It doesn't look "real" at all. Strange effect, dude.

I think the fill-flash and extreme sharpness contribute to this effect.
I have some similar shots of a duck I took recently, but mine was stuffed -- I have to find a nice sky to drop into the BG : )

| Do you have a strong flash? That could cause the effect bear was referring to... |

I know it is a STRANGE looking shot. I was shocked when I got home. I can post the unedited one if you like! However, like I said, very little PS...USM, Crop...that's about it.
Thanks for the comments!

I have one of those flash-filled shots that made a bird look fake to. Almost like it's pasted in or something.

I'm well aware of this :-) See also my comment on the actual image. I was just remarking to the strange, otherworldly quality of it.
