I was out early again this morning, but had no luck. So, I'm posting this image I took the day before. I think it is a beautiful gull, but I needed help with its ID (Bonaparte Gull in winter plumage). And we see lots of gulls here, too. I left the image uncropped, ran NR and USM, with some minor tweaks. The feathers are not well defined, but I think they must be naturally smooth. I'd be particularly interested in your observations on that aspect of the image. Thanks . . .
