Brown
Pang gong Tso is a strange place to find these Brown Headed Gulls. They are very co-operative and let me make a lot of their flight images that day. I got the usual head on, flying towards the camera shots, but for some reason liked this profile view the best. The barren mountains in the BG and their muted colors seemed to compliment this white bird and its streamlined body very well, and also seemed to convey the struggle for its existence by excluding the life giving icy blue water of the lake below. Not sure why I always want to showcase life in these hills as a challenge rather than as a privilege :?

Love this image Sriharsha ! I was not sure looking at the thumbnail what this one is about. What makes this image unique for my eyes is painting like abstraction of background moutains and photographic reality in the foreground ! Only being slightly more off centered bird :) Thanks for sharing..

The thumbnail to the image relativity is very different. The gull and the varied tones of the mountains make this interesting ofcourse an off-center bird would have added.

Beauty man! Well frozen frame this. The sheer magnitude of the mountain against the relative size of the gull is well portrayed here. 16:9 crop works very well here. Superb image. I, personally liked the near-center placement of the bird.
