I was out in an inflatable boat with an electric motor and a group of seagulls let me get pretty close to them before moving away. This seagull just seemed content to stick around. I was extremely quiet just floating in amongst the rocks that the seagulls like to rest on. I like this shot for the gentle curve of the rocks and the loan seagull standing guard.

That has to be the perfect way to get a shot like this. Love the curve of the rocks, the great pose he gave you and the mood of the image.

I agree with Yves. Sometimes a simple, quiet shot is more effective than a busy scene. Lovely.

I like very much that nature scene Debra. Simple, calm yet very interesting. Agree with you about the curves of the rock. The yellow line at the back and the current in front of the rock adds a nice look to the overall photo.
