 It is a HDR image. I also cropped, sharpened and adjusted levels in Photoshop. The gull was taking off over a pond near Lake Ontario. The pond was steaming.

Not a bad action photo but I really wish the gull was flying towards us rather than away from us.

What beautiful toning, it is very peaceful, IMO the grass detracts from the overall picture, but I really like this picture

Animals leaving is never as pleasing as one entering the picture.

Very graceful pose captured - I like the supporting foreground elements and the gray of the water.

Good stop motion capture, but his position doesnt grab me. I want to see more surface area of the bird.

I like the flowing lines of this shot, ll the different greys in this shot are great. Was it raining at the times, as there seems to be noise or rain. 7
