Marvelous creation...loved the details on bird ,wings pose and eye.

Alfredo:

Striking eye, well exposed, good to have the bill/head free of merge with wing, like the comp.

Look forward to more.

Cheers

Hi,

Excellent eye, and feather detail. Well exposed and placed in the frame.

Nice gull, good exposure and details. The eye looks great. I also like the translusence of the flight feathers overlapping. Not super crazy about the wing position of the near wing. Looking forward to more now that school is winding down for you!

Wonderful shot. Exposed very well, great detail, and I love the eye it just pops.
Well done.
