Description
I was out for my usual walk down the shore the other day and managed to snag this shot. I can never seem to get close at all to the seagulls or other birds that frequent the cliff edges & shore. They are very weary of humans. The ones at the dump, however, won't even get out of your way if you are heading right for them. I guess they are far more acustomed to human presence being that they live in a landfill and all. The backdrop for photographing the dump birds isn't as nice though and I don't think I would want to crawl around on the ground there to get my shots. Thanks for viewing.Photoshop:
Vignette filter, Sepia toned, Copied layer with gaussian blur applied & set to soft light mode. Some dodging/burning. etc.

Very nice. Living on the beach, I love this shot. As for the birds issue, you should come to Dominion beach. They will not move. You might even get to see a seal here.

It's awesome! The tone is perfect, too. I didn't think a seagull could be pretty, but you managed it.

I really love this shot. I am a bird lover too. It is even better than the sitting bird with its wings floded on to the body. This is great!!! Looking forward to more great work
