Flight in the quiet blue

This image captures a moment of pure motion and grace—a seagull in mid-flight, wings fully extended, soaring against a backdrop of a partly cloudy sky. Shot from below, the composition emphasizes the bird’s elegant form and the freedom of open air.

The seagull’s white feathers are lit beautifully, with subtle shading along the wings that adds depth and realism. Its posture—wings wide, body streamlined—suggests effortless glide and directional purpose.

The sky is a soft blue, scattered with wispy clouds, creating a textured canvas that enhances the sense of altitude and openness. The lighting is natural and balanced, highlighting the bird without overpowering the scene.
