The Ivory Gull is still showing up in Plymouth MA

Great bird and great details, head angle and exposure control. I like that you included the entire shadow and might add a bit space at the left and might try to lighten the eye a bit.

Great whites with the detail held nicely in the feathers.....

Nice work.

Lovely details and fine looking bird...

[Tony Whitehead]

Great details and neutral snow - love the snow crystals on the bill and leg. Agree re a little more room on the left.

I was wondering if you used any exposure compensation on this shot? I like the details & it doesn't look like too much is blown...
