BACKGROUND: I have to say that every time I view this photo I get very homesick for San Diego. This type of photograph is possible every day, including the four days that it rains, er... drizzles... mists. Well you get the idea. This photo was actually taken in the winter during the "rainy season".
THE PHOTO: I wish that I had been shooting RAW when I made this photo. So much more detail could have been captured. The framing of the photo and "poster-izing" it, I learned from Scott Kelby's book "The Photoshop Elements 5 Book for Digital Photographers". This book is loaded with tricks and tips on how to do stuff will Elements, and I'm sure they will all work with the full blown version as well.
THE LOCATION: I was on the Ocean Beach Pier in San Diego facing Dog Beach. Exact position was about 75 yards before the bait store and restaurant.
THE BIRD: He was my constant companion the rest of the day. Probably because I fed him little anchovy treats to sit and pose for me. He identified himself as Jonathan Livingston Seagull, VII. I don't know about you, but that name rings a bell.
