Now I know this is a water challenge, but this curvaceous gull floated into the picture and I couldn't help myself...

Processing: crop, selected the bird and applied shadows and highlights, smart sharpen the whole thing.

This is at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. These guys pretty much stay in the park and probably had minimal exposure to the oil spill.

Oh, yes, indeed there's a coot in the b/ground.

Yes, nices curves and a wonderful sharp gull. Coot looks like a kind of shadow. I think it would be nice if it was more to the left.

Very nice colours, good exposure. The dark bird in the background looks sort of sinister! :)

Lovely roundnesses. Gull pops forward out of picture, and blue shadows on him work very well with light behind him.

Gull has great detail, agree that curves are wonderful. Coot in background adds interest. Like the composition with the gull in the lower right corner.

Understand - birds are always sneaking into my water photos too. And there's plenty of water behind and such a pretty blue it is. The gull is quite pretty! Coot in the background?
