 April was a tough month. Weird work stuff meant no time for shooting. Apart from a few blurry tulips taken mid month for warm colours, I had nothing to choose from. A short walk today and I managed at least to find one image.

Not my normal genre, but hey, it's always good to branch out. It's also my first submission with my new lens (which I love).

If I wasn't in the FSM, I would have skipped this month altogether. Hopefully this will give me a 5.7 or so.

Processed with SEP 2 (of course!)

Didn't vote in this challenge. Too bad tho because I would have seen this back then. This is gorgeous! Love the sense of freedom you captured. Perfect title.

Beautifuly shot. Lots of extra points for making a seagull shot this good! I just see them seagulls so often I can be jaded towards them. I should add, the texture of the sky makes this extra special.

Good shot, clear, nice tones, balance and symmetry only I'm wanting the bird to be more squared in the picture which means I'm ruining it for you ;) 7

Seagull pictures get boring after a while, but this one is pretty awesome!
