Seagull on the Promenade

[Feline]

Whilst taking a stroll along the promenade the other day, I had a close encounter with this little friend. He let me get quite close in order to take this shot.

Nicely done; I think the softness I'm seeing is from Photobucket's compression. Be careful of your composition; notitce the way the sign poles behind him tend to grab your eye? A slight change in your position would have "moved" them so they were not directly behind the subject.

Well done. I can't believe he let you get that close either (47mm!). Must be an area where they are used to humans coming and going.
