Great image Peder. OK, so it might be a common gull, but it's what you have done that makes this a very striking image. The reflection is terrific. Did you achieve the dark background in PS, or was the water really that dark? #14628

Hi Mark, Thank you for your comment. The seagull was in a little pond under some trees, and it was pretty dark, as he was floating around the bird got hit by sunrays, so the sun on the white bird combined with the shadows around it made the water almost black when used a center-weighted metering. I also added about 10% contrast in PSP. #27841
