ring-billed gull.

I like to take photos that can have a story with a small caption. I liked the apologetic expression of this gull.

40D. 300 f/4 L non-is. iso 400. f/6.3. 1/2000. 70% crop. Some NR on BG and USM on bird and perch. Should have used the 1.4x for this one. But I was practicing flight shots and did not have my 400 lens with me at that time.

All opinions welcome

Moment well captured- he looks a bit embarrassed:). Nice underwing detail too. I enjoy your "story" images, thanks for sharing.

I like the story the image tells. Techs look fine.

I like the pose and the lamp looks like an old-fashioned UFO. :) I might tone down the whites of the bird a bit.
