Thank Yuu so much for your comment and support dear Maryanne...now I am trying to play catch-up... Summer-time has a way of keeping a better balence for us and de-taching ME from the pc - which is a good thing :))
All the Best,
Michele~

I like this image a great deal, Michele -- the various tones of white and gray and the light that backlights both birds and shines on the sand behind. Nicely done, indeed.

Thank YOu dear Galal.... I appreciate your comment so much .
A funny thing is my name is female french 'Michele`' but I was first born & my parents wanted a son to name Michael...so they still to this day call me 'Mike' :)) anyway ......

A very beautiful capture!! She must have been quite close to you. I also like the texture of the sand in the background.

Oh the joys of shooting nature :))
Thank YOu for the comment my friend !

oh my!!!!!! So friendly??????? Well i remember once at our port there was lot of gulls (at the period the polish let us takes shots...agggrrrrr) the gulls was very wild and you cannot be closer that....200 meters hahaha....only as they flying and try to "land" to the water to catch the fish ...IF you was very lucky that could be at...50 meters... BUT a shot like that with 55mm????? SUPER!!! Of course I believe you pay him with something to eat as being your ....model....hahahahaha messing with you because I'm so jeluse and green right now, I love gulls, I believe that is the ultimate sympol of freedom...
anyway...the shot is really amazing and personaly I don't care about the...little bit overexpose (the sun angle looks like don't works here well for you) ...but I don't mind, the shot is amazing, at the end IF I CAN I TAKE A PHOTO BETTER THAN YOU.....hahaha I bet I already have lost that bet!
Excellent dear Michele, an amazing image.....hmmmm perchaps you are a very good person and so the gulls does not afread you...but when they see me..........................
Bye bye!
