I like it as well, what type of gulls are those? Very pretty. We just have your standard gray variety here in CT.

Exactly what JMR said and very well done - great shot!

Congratulations Gerog...this is a wonderful capture and a well deserved addition to the Pentax Gallery.

Carie, Juan, Marc, Diane, thanks a million! You and the previous posters make me happy that I finally decided to post something to PPG, I have to send more for review, who knows if this single accepted image gets company

jeffkpotter · 01-31-2009, 06:35 PM

A brilliant shot!

Very nice! It just works--no wonder it got into PPG.

I think this is called simply a "back-headed gull". In latin it is Larus ridibundus
