Hi Robert, I like these type of portrait shots. Good detail on the head and beak, and love the BG.

[David Salem]

Nice portrait. Clean and sharp. Like the BG. If you are not apposed to altering your pics I would clean up the upper right. Otherwise, Good Job!

I always enjoy a nice portrait of a gull! Good techs and details. BG looks nice. Some fill-flash would have helped liven the eye IMO, and I'd trim some off the top (or have pointed the lens down a wee bit more).

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely portrait with nice details but I would definitely take some off of the top.

Very nice portrait, Robert. I might crop a bit off the bottom to have just the white feathers.
