Ring-billed Gull

[Jim Crosswell]

This was taken this week at a lagoon near the house. It was taken midday with the light filtering through some thin clouds. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Nice background and wing position, Jim. I only wish that the eye area was a bit brighter, an easy fix if you agree.

Great wings up pose and I like the BG.
Tack sharp as well.

Lovely image, Jim. Sharp detail, nice colors. Thank you for sharing.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice flight pose against smooth background, Jim.

[William Dickson]

The colours on the bird look well against the lovely BG. I like the sharpness of the head.

Good RBG in flight. Well balanced composition. Nice BG. I'm wondering if a bit more saturation would be better?

[Jim Crosswell]

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. I will rework the image to give it a little more pop.

Hi Jim, excellent exposure on the whites, and what a great flight pose with the raised wings. Love the BG too. A great image for the theme. :cheers:
