Splashing seagulls

Yulia

While walking today, I saw seagulls splashing very loudly in a fresh water pond - probably washing their feathers from sea salt. Out of about 10 shots one came out OK I think. I made it bw, since background was really boring colors.

What do you think?

I like it I've seen seagulls do this washing routine on many many occassions, it's quite interesting to watch.

They really shake their booty once they get going

The shore line plants in the background almost mirrors the action of the birds.

Lovely shot Yulia ... Skippy

Thank you, Skippy. I normally don't shot birds - don't have right equipment for it. This one was a nice accident.

In BW I think it looks very good. Catching the water spraying up as you have is also nice.

Great capture! The B&W conversion certainly suits this.

Thank you, Idlewild and DaddyO.
