Sunshine Images - Seagull in the Sun

I took this photograph in Funchal, Madeira at the top of a tower overlooking the Marina and captured the seagull against the bright sun and fluffy clouds.  I took it on my Sony Cybershot HD, no fancy camera, no complicated settings, just the right moment.

I'm entering this into the Sunshine Images Linky at Truly Madly Kids

Sunshine - 365+1

I've a couple of 'same but different' photos to catch up on but work has been rather hectic and I haven't got home till later so they will have to wait till the weekend.  However, this prompt caught my attention and I enjoyed playing around with some filters and mask in Photoshop to create this posterised sun setting on the floods in our field.  It rained all last night and has been raining off and on all day. Stopped now, but I'm sure there is more to come.
