A Swallow-tailed Gull on the way home after a night of feeding (they do feed at night), early on a sunny morning, Genovesa Island, Galapagos. I think these are elegantly beautiful birds, and could not stop photographing them.
Canon 50D, ISO 400, AV, 1/1600, f/6.4, 28-300mm at 184mm, handheld.

Great banking pose, fanned tail and eye contact. I would sharpen the bird more and there is a magenta cast on my monitor. I would also lighten the midtones a bit.
Thanks Axel. I will work on your suggestions, but am not seeing the maganta here, I wonder why?

You can see it quite well at the shadow on the tail. I'm assuming your monitor is calibrated? I've noticed that several images posted here made with the 50D have magenta casts. I have no idea why.Quote:

Thanks for the magenta info Axel Will check mine out !!!
Great pose. I would also suggest mid-tone lightening. THat water is so clear and inviting. Well done. :)
Beautiful image...(I have a 50D and struggle with the magenta cast)
