pp: cropped, added noise, curve adjustment, vignette and put into a movie-type frame.

taken at the rooftop of deira fish market on a gloomy afternoon. i saw and waited for the right moment for this big seagull to turn the opposite direction.

The white cloudy blob on the middle left side is a bit distracting otherwise it does look like a scene from a Pixar movie. Nice timing on the seagull head!!!

Outstanding job!

I'm sure it took great patience and timing to capture that moment and good idea to PP it that way. Looks like it came out of a movie on Natural Geographic.

To C&C, I agree with the white clouds being a bit distracting.

Amazing! I agree that the white cloud is distracting, but it's still a great image.

I love this, so funny... talk about a juxtapose... :) Echoing the bright cloud as well.

Nice nice, somehow I like the clouds, it ads to the space in the image to an otherwise flat sky, and it does in a subtle way balance the image against the strong stance the standing seagull on the right side has. Beautiful...
