This copulating pair of Black-headed Gulls was photographed at Texel, Holland with the tripod-mounted Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM lens, the Canon 2x EF Extender III (Teleconverter), and the Canon EOS-1D X Digital SLR camera. ISO 800. Evaluative metering +2/3 stop as framed: 1/500 sec. at f/10 in Manual mode. I should have been at zero as I needed to do some fancy stepping during image optimization to save the WHITEs.
To see the original over-exposed image, to learn about the image optimization, and to see several more sweet Black-headed Gull images see the blog post: "Elegant and Sexy Cousin."
As for the image, don't be shy; all comments are welcome.

great exposure for the whites and blacks. I just wish the small oof leaves at the bottom center of the frame were not there
