Full moon has fallen from sky into the sea


At this picture you can see moon on the surface of the sea. This photoshop work is just great. The sky have that amazing metallic or chrome look, but water seems to be natural, but it looks like that it wasn't taken from some picture of the sea or ocean but from some smaller source like lake, river or even pool, because as you see it looks to still and little waves are too close to us what means that it is a small area and color is changed to greenish. Full moon looks a little bit transparent and like some lightening effects are applied on top of it.
Reflection of Earth's best friend on the water may be the same transparent moon with lower opacity and stretched a bit. This could look more realistic if the water and reflection on it would be applied in perspective, or at least if reflection would. But except a few small mistakes this photo of moon looks very good.

Seagull: Biology and Habits


Seagull or actually gull belong to Laridae bird family. Gulls are medium size birds generally white or grey with a few black spots on their head and wings. These birds have a longish bills, their feet are webbed and their calls are harsh and loud like squawking or wailing.
Sizes of different species may vary from 120 g for the small gull to 1.75 kg for the Great Black-backed Gull.
Gulls are ground nesting birds feeding with live food or scavenge. They are feeding with small fish or crabs and also they are often visitors of the city dumps and supermarket containers as well as they use to steal food from smaller animals. Sometimes they use pieces of bread as a bait to catch fish which shows that they are highly intelligent birds.
Gulls are coastal or inland species which usually don't far away to the sea. So if the ship is lost in the sea, sailors can tell that land is somewhere near if they see seagull.
