14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Shining Sea

The Shining Sea. I Wanted to capture a photo of a seagull in flight against the bright, shiny sea. Had to adjust camera settings to compensate for the bright sunlight, pre-focus on a section of water as auto focus wouldn't adjust quickly enough and just shoot rapidly.
