Ring-billed Gull With Catch

D7200 w/Tamron 150-600mm @ 550mm
ISO 800; f/6.3, 1/6400 sec; MM -1

This Ring-billed Gull was photographed below the Conowingo Dam in Maryland.

Thanks for looking, and for any comments or suggestions you may have.

These guys will catch and eat anything and everything they can get their bills to!! I like the takeoff pose, and the fish prey. Quite a large dip in the water, neat. The harsh light and high dynamic range scene gave you blocked blacks and blown whites, perhaps that can be tamed in raw conversion - worth a try.

Thanks Daniel. Good suggestion, which I hope this repost at least in part addresses.

It does! I suspect there is not much to do about the white on the fish, but there is a very nice difference in the gull's black primaries.
