My favourite Gull, shown here in breeding plumage. Although named Black Headed Gull, the head is a chocolate brown colour, which turns white in winter.

Thanks for looking.

A lovely, serene shot of a beautiful gull. Nice angle, beautiful bg. Good detail in the whites. I'd be tempted to clean up a few multiple catchlights in the eye.

Whites are well exposed, I would suggest a tad more sharpening on the head area. Overall a very pleasing image.

Nice low angle with a smooth BG. Well exposed and composed. Since the BG is already so clean I would go ahead and clean up the smudges above the tail.

Hi Will, yes to a great low perspective here, and I like the soft light. You certainly nailed the exposure on the fellow. Well captured.

Thanks for the views and comments, much appreciated :S3:

Lovely shot Will the exposure is just about perfect, you really have caught some great details in the plumage.

Lovely low angle shot of a great looking Gull, Will.

Hi William, would echo Dan's feedback, the low POV really makes it for me, time to breakout those waders and tripod!
