Believe it or not, it is difficult to capture a good photograph of a seagull. They are constantly on the move and the background may not be simple enough to highlight the seagull. I waited for the seagull to perch itself upon this roof so I could get a clean line with it parallel to the structure and have it juxtaposed against the sky. I was happy to capture the side view of the seagull to make it like a portrait.
