A marvelous low camera view of this gull relaxing on its own private island built for one. Excellent work Idi!
 
Thanks Stanley! Everything I do is very low camera view because I'mtaking pics via kayak. It can be especially challenging on choppy days. But there is the cool thing about the light at that angle and how you can not disturb the animal and get the right light on it because there is so much "space" on the water. It's been a new dimension of photography for me. I'm enjoying placing the value on habitat, behavior, and composition as subject matter in itself.
