Free As A Bird

I spend too long trying to capture the seagulls at the lake whilst they are in flight and this one is telling me how exhilarated he is in having the freedom of the skies to fly, swoop and dive. Flap you arms and come and join me he seems to be saying - I wish. I have changed the photograph to mono as I love how the light is reflecting through his wing and tail feathers and capturing all of that wonderful detail.
