I really like how this picture came out with the halo like effect around the bird. Sometimes just get random, cool effects like this when out taking pictures. :)

Also taken at the Seattle waterfront.

Don't see many photographers taking pictures of things like gulls and crows, most tend to prefer the more 'majestic' birds like eagles and hawks and such. Not that there is anything wrong with that really, I just like to photograph these 'junk birds'(as someone once said), I think they are pretty. :)
