Gulls perched

It is amazing how the lighting can affect the result of a picture being taken ostensibly of the same situation.

The first of these two pictures has been taken with the light coming from the rear, and this has produced a serene occasion where the birds have got together, and are just being sociable - not a care in the world.

This second picture has been taken against the sun, of the same situation, but has produced a totally different feel about it. The birds don't seem so relaxed, but more alert, as though there is something around about which they are not totally happy, or are aware of something about to happen, almost as though they know what to expect.

It's fascinating how different a picture can look just from a different lighting prospect.
