    Taken from car window Canon 7D Canon 500mm f4 L IS & 1.4TC 1, ISO 500 1/1600 sec f6.3
    I tidied up a number of OOF daisies around the head of the gull, also modified white balance slightly,nothing other than that.
    All comments welcome.

    Another excellent image in the series, wonderful colors, very nice green back drop, but missing yellow flower.
    Love the pose with open beak,colors,details and composition.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Hi Jon, great calling pose with the open beak, and overall well exposed. The whites and greys look good, and if anything, I would try a version with a touch more contrast.

    Beautiful bird--I love gulls, and a sweet calling pose. You needed to pull up a few meters and make a small turn to the right to better parallel the subject.
