Another shot from the Galapagos. We can usually get this endangered Galapagos endemic on Santa Cruz Island where this shot was taken.

Nice timing with the foam just up to the feet, Nate. Excellent low angle.

I like the angle and the splashing waves Nate. Nicely composed. I am wondering how this might look with the BG exposure toned down a touch.

Exceptional nice Gull (at least IMHO). The coming water and waterdrops in the air make the image ! Love it devil , Cheers, Hans
