Soar High

I decided to go up on the Eastern Promenade today. And it paid off big time. I'm sorry if I'm boring you with my repeat birds soaring. But I was tickled to get this one. Hope you can see the drop of moisture falling from his peek. I looked and on my lap top all you can see is a tiny white speck. Probably when I made it smaller you loose that detail.

Beautiful capture Joan, great lightly behind the bird :)

I never get tired of birds soaring! Lovely shot.

[Barbara Donnellan]

Wow Joan. So graceful and beautiful with the light behind its wings. For not having time to focus, you captured lovely details.

@featherstone I knew I could count on you Sue.

[Joan Robillard]

@barbarajdonnellan I'm happy all I got was a good picture if you know what I mean.

[Joan Robillard]

@silverhorn Thanks Rose, I don't have any adorable children to photography so I do what I can. LOL

[Pete Roberts]

Great capture Joan.

[Joan Robillard]

[Lyn Berriman]

@lynnilou Thanks for the fav

This is excellent Joan and I love the treatment you've given the sky - it sets the seagull of beautifully.

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse That is the real sky. The one with the Goose on Saturday or was it Sunday. That one I treated the sky.

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor Oh, OK - on my iPad's screen I see a dappled sky with purple traces... which is what led me to my incorrect conclusion. I like the sky in any event!

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse I knew you liked it and no offense here I have just been laughing because no one called me on that other photo which the sky was totally photoshoped.

Beautiful gull...with the light shining through the wings.

[Joan Robillard]

@eyesmile This is my number 1 bird soaring picture. Don't think I could get any better. And no surprises from the gull.
