NR, crop, and sharpen. Edit: fix yellow cast

It's gull migration season again in Thailand. Got there pretty late in the day so only one hour of shooting. Hopefully I can try again tomorrow morning, lately got into a habit of sleeping very late so had a hard time getting up early :p Wish the eye is sharper.

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hmmm...

Seem like a yellow cast on the original.
Decided to change the original picture instead of posting a new one, how do I delete a post?

Hi - wouldn't worry about deleting the post, You have a good HA and flight position - the eye looks pretty good to me - might just lighten it a tad if possible, nice detail under the wings.
Has a nice later afternoon feel and colour to it.
I like it!!

Hi Thanaboon,
I like the composition, image and capture...agree about lightening the under wing just a tad, and perhaps a touch of selective sharpening in the eye...looking good...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Would love seeing those wings straight ... makes a difference !!!

Time of day wise don't stop as the light fades, get you flash out for some fill flash. Try nailing some against the setting colors, low keeper rate but spectacular when you get one !!!

I like the golden light, it has a nice end-of-day feel to it. Nice details and composition.
