Thanks Shirley . . . I was looking for a "Tranquil" subject to shoot at the ocean (Oh my, imagine that! Hehehehee) but when I saw this ONE lone seagull . . . I thought of the alone project . . . :)

Fair enough Manu . . . been looking into frames which will present images without being a distraction from the image . . . I hated the resize on this one . . . smaller than I prefer but essential to maintain minimal distortion / compression issues plagued the shot and I wonder now (of course hindsight is 20/20) whether I could have had more success in a more minimal frame. Anyway - I appreciate the comment.

Lovely colors and yes it give a great sense of loneliness. I'm wondering where you were when shotting this?

Love the look of the ocean here - very dreamy like.
It's great that the seagull was standing still in this image and did not blur the image by moving.
Beautiful!

Thanks Paul . . . I was on the cliffs at the Pointe Vicente Lighthouse / whale watch pull-out in Palos Verdes (Southern California). The shot was downwards as well as out . . . and a LONG ways down -- I know having made the trip to the bottom and back! Apparently frequented by several UF photographers like myself, my wife and Lisa Greget to name a few . . . though there are more. It's awesome and scenic. I appreciate your comment.

Thanks Jessie! - My history of posting has always been tough on my friends. I tend to post tons . . . then nothing for a while. For example . . . I'll likely post one, perhaps two more images until Monday . . . since we're usually VERY busy on weekends and will be in San Francisco this weekend too! I harbor no grudges against people for not keeping up . . . I realize there are those that actually have a non-UF life! BUT . . . When I get back from San Francisco . . . BWA HAHAHAHAHAA! ;)

Thanks Lisa! They'll do ANYTHING for a handful of Doritos! LoL! Funny though . . . we BOTH stood stock still . . . him, just enjoying life . . . me, whispering . . . "don't move - come on Baby! - DON'T move! Pleeeeeese freeze! Easy now! "; etc. Luck my friend. Nothing but!

Very beautiful Doyle - perfect for the Alone project. I like the saturated colour and the hazy, almost marble effect on the water. Very well composed!

Wow Doyle! This has to be one of your best images, I think! I love the cliffs, the ocean and the lonely seagull who flew out there for you after being promised a treat maybe?! Great shuttereffect!
Best wishes,
Annemette

I imagine so:-) Having so many animals you don´t get to travel a lot unless you can get a lift on the Noah´s Ark being built in Holland!;-)
I had an excellent trip to Italy, although it was not with a speer or ax in my hand, but a pen(and camera;-))
Take care California Kid!
