Bonaparte's Gull


This is my favorite little gull as we seem to get a few that come through and stay for a few days then move on.

Lovely image James. Great BG, wing position and exposure. Nice and sharp. I can never find any of these guys. Gotta get down to Huntington someday!!

My favorite little gull too, James.
Great light and beautiful pose. I like its little dangling feet. :>)

Good job capturing detail in the blacks (beak) and the whites --

Super class image this, lovely feel of a bird in flight

Very interesting and unusual pose and one good looking bird. Nice eye contact and detail on the plumage.
I like it...

Beautiful shot of a sweet little gull, James. The tight composition works well for this little guy.

Excellent exposure James, and you have captured some really sharp detail. Looking at his wingspan, he sure does look pretty small. Well captured.

This is a WOW image to me. Amazing! I am surprised how this tight framing works for me.
