Iceland gull, subadult at dawn, eye level from a bluff, flowing river is background

I love having these handsome winter visitors from the arctic. Canon 300mm F2.8 + 1.4, F8, ISO 800

Great find and wing position. Maybe some more sharpening and lightening of the eye?

Iovely detail on the wing, and stands out against the grey BG. Well captured Jeff.

Wonderful bird, wing position, COMP, and EXP. The slight turn of the head away from you has caused the lack of sharpness on the face. Axel's suggestions will help with all but the head angle. I may go to Newfoundland this winter for these guys...

Jeff,
Agree with Axel. The background is nice. wing spread is nice. It needs a bit more sharpening.
Cheers,
