Second Year Laughing Gull

[Joseph Przybyla]

One from the past that I did a re-do on. I believe this is a second year Laughing Gull but I struggle identifying immature gulls. If I am wrong please correct me. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Joseph, I like the flight pose showing off the full wings, and overall well exposed. Always great to see clouds in a sky BG, adds so much more. Im not sure what the green is on the gulls right underwing?

Hi Stuart, thanks for viewing and commenting. It is amazing how one can look at an image and not see something. Then another person looks at the same image and sees something that was staring one in the face. The green on the under wing must be a reflection from the water that the bird was hovering over. Thanks for pointing that out, I shall correct it in the original.
