Laughing Gull Drama

Gallery: AvianPosted May 19, 20163,393 views4 comments

I found this pair on Cocoa Beach, Florida. I'm not sure if this is Mom or Dad but junior was relentlessly squawking at the parent for I assume food. It went on for quite some time. I just like the interaction they had and the attitude of the youngster. Very slight crop for comp. I cloned a blue blob from the sand in the bg, I think it was a bottle cap. I failed to check my settings before hand, hence the 1/8000 shutter speed.

Thanks for looking, comments & suggestions are always appreciated!

Nice interaction, good detail, and I love the angle you got, Steve. Techs look spot on.

.Almost looks like snow but I guess the sand in some Florida beaches is so white that is hard to tell. Nice interaction. This image is very sharp. The contrast between foreground background in the birds is great and the image really pops.
