Photographer's Note

A seagull flying along with several companions over the harbour of Ayia Marina. There's a species named "Aegean seagull" but I'm not sure if this gull belongs to it.

From Wikipedia:

The gulls have a worldwide cosmopolitan distribution. They breed on every continent, including the margins of Antarctica, and are found in the high Arctic, as well. They are less common on tropical islands, although a few species do live on islands such as the Galapagos and New Caledonia. Many species breed in coastal colonies, with a preference for islands, and one species, the grey gull, breeds in the interior of dry deserts far from water. Considerable variety exists in the family and species may breed and feed in marine, freshwater, or terrestrial habitats.rnrnMost gull species are migratory, with birds moving to warmer habitats during the winter, but the extent to which they migrate varies by species. Some migrate long distances, like Franklin's gull, which migrates from Canada to wintering grounds in the south of South America. Other species move much shorter distances and may simply disperse along the coasts near their breeding sites.

Hello Ourania,
A well composed minimalist image. The saturated blue sky makes a great backdrop to the high flying gull. There is some evidence of over-exposure in the right half of the gulf's underbelly. You may be able to 'calm' this area down using your software. In any event, it is not a major issue and does not spoil our overall enjoyment. Sharpness is excellent.

Ciao Ourania, bello in magnifico volo sopra un fantastico cielo azzurro, è un pochettino sovraesposto, ma fa nulla, trasmette una grande sensazione di libertà, brava, ciao Silvio

Hello Ourania,
Wow, great capture of this gull caught in full flight in this perfectly blue sky. I really like how the sun is shining on its wings.

Bonsoir, cher Ourania,
La mouette est un éclat de rire, habillé de blanc, qui se moque de la gravité.
Un oiseau est libre, du moins, je le suppose.
Amitiés.

Kalispera Ourania,
Perfect catch of a flying seagull, its feathers shown marvelously spread while hovering above.
My best regards,
Ike

Hello Ourania,
It's a beautifully elegant composition. It may look simple but it's no simple thing to capture a bird like this so perfectly. Seagulls are beautiful to watch in their proper environment, but when they invade cities, like they do on my island in Stockholm close to a bay of the Baltic Sea, they are extremely noisy and can be very aggressive if you walk close to the buildings where they have their nests on the roofs.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello, Ourania!

A simple and wonderful composition, perfectly executed, with the seagull captured with excellent sharpness and colors! I also like the framing with this much of sky, with this beautiful color! Very nice job!

Hello Ourania,
As I am getting ready to hear these words on Tuesday, I am both happy to be going back to Istanbul to see family and also a bit anxious after what happened to Egypt Air Flight 804. I hope to see a lot of these seagulls in a few days!
Regards,
MT
