Black Headed Gull on snow

I challenged the poor weather over the weekend, and managed to get out and about for a couple of hours. I liked the pose of this BHG(winter plumage) as it looked over towards the frozen loch.

Boy, those are some pure looking whites! I love the texture of the snow along the ground, and the grasses poking through. Perfect head angle.

Great detail here. Really like the white on white.

A really nice study of this gull, Will - but next month's theme is Gulls! You are a bit early. The detail is beautiful and whites nicely handled and up to your usual standard.

Whites are exactly the way I like to see them, White! Nice pose and the snow makes a great FG/BG for this guy. Well done

You really nailed it Will well done, tones colours and fine details excellent.

Thanks for that guys, much appreciated. I thought posting at the largest size would give a better view of the finer detail, and it appears it worked.

THis is just a superb winter image. The simplicity of it all works perfectly for me.
cheers mate
