Nice work Dumay. Nice details on the whites and the bird is Sharp.Love the BG.

[Marina Scarr]

Everything Gail said. Lovely capture. My favorite part is the front toe! It gives the capture a delicate quality.

Wonderful image Dumay! I echo what the others have said. Good work with the exposure. Love the pose, foot and head turn. Also really like the background and the natural framing from the sand above and below. Great work!

Terrific image, Dumay. It's all been said, I can only echo all the nice comments above.
I too especially like the front toe and the sand particles in the air. Killer IQ.

[Jim Crosswell]

Excellent image Dumay! I like the IQ, pose, exposure, low angle and sweet BG.

[Daniel Cadieux]

It does have an elegant look to it, doesn't it! Love everything here...techs, colours, HA, low perspective. I would only get rid of the small dark speck directly underneath the front foot and I also wouldn't mind a bit more canvas above. Super nice!

[dankearl]

That is one beautiful Sea Gull! Elegant pose and your usual top IQ.
A pleasure to view this.

[Rachel Hollander]

Dumay - great image. Nice low pov, clean bg and good exp. I really like the sort of strutting pose.

TFS,
Rachel

Thanks folks!

Hey Mate, great exposure, and just love the overall IQ in this. Good low perspective, and that BG is a killer.
