Very beautiful scene. It´s very difficult to get a bird flying... I know it well :)

The sky with those lenticular is interesting particularly the shades of grey. Well done to catch the bird in flight.

Très belle prise de vue aux nombreuses nuances de gris. La présence de l'oiseau apporte un peu de chaleur dans cet univers bien froid.
Félicitations.

A very nice shot, I like very much the mood here, I can imagine the peace. Too much sea though, so I have posted a WS for you.
Hope you like it

Nickolay, I have to say this is maybe my favorite of your photos that I've seen posted yet. The sea is calm, the clouds are calm, and a single gull makes its way through the frame. The colours, approaching monochrome, are beautiful and true, such soft pastels to offset the grey tones. Proportions are perfect, in my opinion. Gentle, beautiful.
