'I'm ready for my close-up, Mr Kertes'

@Amanda: This was taken down at the beach. I was standing on rocks that were slightly above the water line. The posts are the same posts as in this - http://sash.aminus3.com/image/2009-10-15.html - image. The only real difference between the two images is that this one was taken after the sun had risen. Thanks for your comment and interest.

@DarkElf: Thanks mate. It was a biiiiiit tricky seeing as it was a hand-held manual focus at 290mm (while standing on a rock the size of a pea) shot, but I didn't think the gull would've stuck around and waited for me to fetch my tripod if I hadn't done it that way. I wasn't sure whether the log would be too distracting or not but the feedback seems to indicate that it's just fine. One of these days I'll make the time to catch up on your work. Hopefully I'll get a bit more time in the near future. Thanks again for your comment.
