Ring-Billed Gull

This image was created at Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, New York on 2/17/18 at 8:22AM. Image adjustments in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Hand held, Full Frame.

I like the landing position.
I am not loving the way the BG purple intersects with the gull.
I also see some cloning artifacts along the lower RHS. Looks like you added some canvas at the bottom.
Whites on the shoulder a a bit hot. Any chance of reworking this?

Love the light, the three tiered BG, the feather detail in wings and tail. Although HA could be better, you got that eye. The whites all look good to my eye. Being slightly off the sun angle added nice shadowed depth to the underside chest/belly. TFS

Thanks Gail, I have reworked this.

Looks way better and the RLC looks good as well.

Repost is much better but the horizon line is still a bummer.
