What an extraordinarily beautiful shot - such a good close-up!! The water so blue and looking choppy. I could almost read the sign post by the road. *g*

Goodness! Thank you for all the positive feedback. Actually, if you look closer you will see where I intentionally placed the third seagull - the one in the middle - its wingtip slightly overlaps the framework!

Mary, Mike told me about the tragedy - it's funny that reading about a disaster and SEEING the location are two different things. The north and south fishing piers are the ramps from the bridge that was destroyed. For RVers they are a great, free, overnight stopping place. The Skyway Bridge is just to the east of the original.

And May - they were flying because they were getting a grand handout - so I simply started snapping from one location which made this layered image doable!

A very effective shot, and I've tried very hard to work out which is the 3rd bird, but I can't! Just goes to show how expertly you've done it!

lovely image, Vicki, and agree about the 3rd gull also. Good to see you here again, had been thinking of you.

Very pretty shot Vicki. I think the 3rd bird makes it also. Nice work! Don

Nice shot Vicki. Years ago I was afraid to go over this bridge so I would force myself to drive over and back to get over the fear. I also used to fish by the pilings or whatever they are called. Brings back some memories.

This was not long before before the accident to the bridge.

Vicki - You could've found them a piece of bread...or a French fry!

Poor hungry things...
