Nice scene!
That sea gull has its path laid out for it, though, only needs to follow that cloud!
Well spotted.
A bit noisy - no way to fight that noise a little (NeatImage, NoiseNinja)?
i did a lot to the noise. this is quite a tight crop so it looked even worse. the problem with cleaning the noise up is clouds tend to lose any texture they have. so this is a balance i can could live with. thanks for the coment.
