I love the gun metal gray BG.
Nice light and great wing position and tack sharp.
You also got a very slight head turn.
Very nice image of this gull John. No nits from me ( and that doesn't happen very often!:bg3:

I like it, but the bird is just past you.......

[Alex Becker]

Love the BG, light, pose and details. Colors really pop. Very nice, TFS

[Daniel Cadieux]

A pretty much perfect parallel flight pose. Nice and sharp, well exposed, good BG.

Subject is perfectly parallel and the black background really helps this image.

Killer lighting at details! Sharp from head to tail! Exposure is great, and the dark BG makes for a really striking image. I only wish
I could see a bit more of the far wing as the subject does lack depth across it. Beautiful breeding plumage bird though!

[Jonathan Ashton]

I don't think it could be much better, I like the pose the colours details and background. The ringed bill is shown to great advantage, It's a belter!
(Had a ring-billed gull here last winter!)

Sharp with a killer BKGR but something about the flight pose/subject orientation/ wing position bugs me because the head seems a bit hidden.
