Kelp Gull feather display

Not sure if this is the same juvenile Kelp Gull which I've rescued from an anchored fishing line a few minutes earlier, but a nice feather display regardless (me thinketh).

Standard sharpness adjustments in LR.

All C & C's welcome

Hi Tobie, well exposed on the underwings, and good detail shown throughout. The high key sky works well, and if anything, I would move him a little more into the frame. IMO, I think the juvies are more attractive than the adults.

Nice flight pose and exposure, well done.

Great job on the exposure and detail.

Absolutely! :S3:

This would be a great image for a field guide book as it shows the underwing pattern very beautifully.
I could see this as a vertical as well,
