Saint Johns River in Mayport, Florida. I laid in the sand and watched the clean up crew. Had to clean up some yuck, yuck myself in the bg. Pretty sure this is a juvi ring-billed gull w/ light markings. I'm still not sure about this image, dunno why.

Nice timing Paul. Bird looks little hot on my monitor. Also would like to see more space on the bottom.

Hi Paul,
I agree with Sid on brightness. Just don't make the eye any darker........love the interaction,
Roman

toned down a tad and light added to the eye.

repost effort looks much better IMO Paul......highlights still a bit bright though.
I very much like the subject matter
