Description June 22, 2014 | 17-Mile Drive | Monterey, California
Canon EOS Rebel T2i | EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II

In 2014, my best friend, my dad, and I decided to plan and take a trip down the California coast on Highway 1 to see the sights on a mini-road trip. We started our trip in Monterey and our first stop was the 17-Mile Drive where among the beautiful coast scenery were a variety of native animals including: the seagull. While birds are some of the most common animals we tend to see, they always end up being my go-to subjects to photograph. This gull in particular allowed me to get up close and photograph the details of his face like I never have done with a bird before.

Note: Photoshop was used to add watermark/signature to image.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and feedback!   He allowed me to get really close, so I took advantage of the opportunity! It turned out to be one of my favorites shots to date.

I think most people underestimate the intelligence of birds, especially somewhat common birds like seagulls. They are my favorite animals to photograph for whatever reason, lol.
