A dramatic, high-contrast black and white photograph of a seagull captured from above as it flies over a dark, choppy ocean. The bird's wings are fully extended, revealing intricate feather details highlighted in bright silver. The water below is a deep, inky black filled with shimmering white 'sparkles' from the splashing waves. The image has a gritty, cinematic grain that emphasizes the raw energy and movement of the scene."

"The ocean has a life of its own, and its own gray and silver poetry. To see a gull emerge from the spindrift is to see a spirit made of salt and wind, a wild thing that belongs to the spray."
—Henry Beston
