Taken in Torquay, Devon. Even though it was mid-October, the weather was 15 degrees! And the sun cam out later in the afternoon, and I took this with my 70-300mm canon lens. The shot was already fantastic, well exposed and the clouds give good background interest, while the sun light up the seagulls back body, giving a highlighted outline.
There was not much really needed to in photoshop, just turned up the backlight a bit and upped the contrast while running the dodge tool over the wingtips to bring out the highlight more. Other than that the photo you see is very little changed from the original!
