This is an image I captured at a local loch.....The Black Headed Gull(winter plumage) was in good light, whilst the BG was in deep shadow because of overhanging trees.....HH....ACR, Topaz DN and PS..

This is a winner, Will. Love everything about it: action, pose, lighting, eye contact, processing, and the drama. And I really like that you left the subtle wash/waves at the bottom to suggest the water. Awesome all around.

Stunning Will. Just absolutely love this.

An amazing pose with a gorgeous head turn. Tonal pop is so sweet and the dramatic effect on the dark back is superb. Bravo!
