Description
A lonely seagull flies the winds
Majestic soaring gliding wings
A single screech sounds from the sky
Come fly with me,come here and fly
My spirit floats to be a part
I feel the beating of its heart
My soul, one with this bird of sea
Now knows the meaning to fly free
I feel the winds caress my soul
And soar the streams without a goal
My being trembles of delight
A treasure I received tonight
The seagull's flight of soaring high
The gift of what it means to fly
-Gift of the Seagull poem by Munda

Hi Lisa, responding back to you from down below. You are most welcome. Love your work. I would love to offer comments to some of your other works. Are their specific ones you would like me to look at? I would love the same as well. Let's touch base via email. Love this photo. I think it would be a great one to submit to the group "Book Covers." l/v

Lisa, I love the stark contrast of the shadowy seagull against the bright background. I also like that you've captured the seagull in an interesting spot in the composition, and not dead center. Kudos! =)
Emmy Vickers
Lisa, very nice capture. Love the seagull silhouette contrasted with the blue sky and blurred white clouds; gives me the sense of feeling free. The dark vignette adds a bit of mysteriousness to the scene. Nicely composed. I would love to see another version where the clouds are just a little bit less blurred, might make the silhouette of the seagull that much more clear. l/v/tweeted.

I like the simplicity of the seagull and the contrast of colors between the gull and the sky. Lft

I love how simply stated this image is. The seagull still has clear detail, while being a dark subject.
