Talk about perfect timing Donna...on the rain and the flight formation of these seagulls! Outstanding composition and seashore feel! #1375505

Thank you Joannie.

The soaring birds are pelicans. They are so beautiful to watch!!!

Definitely captures the feel of SoCal! Beautiful composition. Is that Julianne over there on the bluff? :o) Great sense of scale here. #9396184

I could look at this beauty all day, Donna! Wonderful soft lighting, details and POV. Looks like a masterpiece painting!! Deb #9396502

Great image Donna. I like how the two people and the pelicans make a triangle creating more eye movement. An overcast day like this can make the colors dull, but your colors are great. Great job! #9397048
