Wow! That takes my breath away! I don't know that I've ever seen such amazing art in a free study as I have this month. This would probably win a blue ribbon in any other challenge!

Thanks to everyone for your comments and votes. I happened to catch this gull as it was landing on ice. It slid and had trouble keeping its balance.

haha! This reminds me of a shot that I was considering!

I love his yellow feet, but the yellow eyes makes the shot. Nice capture! (just a nit-pick--it looks a tad dark on my screen)

Wow! This is the best picture of a seagull I have ever seen. The clarity is fantastic. I love the reflection of the feet on the ice.
