flock of seagulls

this picture is a bit of a lie... it was taken shortly after sunrise and the sky was much brighter than 'twould appear from this image... a combination of aperture priority deciding the exposure based on the ball of fire to the right and nik silver fx filters gave it this lovely dark feel and i kind of like it... so there you are...

i was quite taken aback by the lovely response to my psychedelic penguin... thank you!

Just Hitchcockian and Gotham all together! Love!! Fave!

I like the glow on the right and the dark broodiness of this shot. It does have a Gotham feel to it. Cool birds!
