Theme: Overhead Iceland Gull

[Paul Guris]

This Iceland Gull came in to our chum on one of our organized pelagics out of New Jersey. I always liked the ethereal look of this image.

Beautiful. Really like the pose with the head turned in.
Super minimalistic presentation has a very "pure" feel about it.

I'd like slightly looser 6x4 crop with similar positioning of the bird.

The photo does have an ethereal quality to it Paul. Excellent detail, and I like the fanned tail feathers. I might selectively brighten the bird a bit.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll give them a try.
