Kelp Gull feather display

[Tobie Schalkwyk]

Not sure if this is the same juvenile Kelp Gull which I've rescued from an anchored fishing line a few minutes earlier, but a nice feather display regardless (me thinketh).

Standard sharpness adjustments in LR.

Hi Tobie, well exposed on the underwings, and good detail shown throughout. The high key sky works well, and if anything, I would move him a little more into the frame. IMO, I think the juvies are more attractive than the adults.

Nice flight pose and exposure, well done.

Great job on the exposure and detail.

Absolutely!

This would be a great image for a field guide book as it shows the underwing pattern very beautifully.
I could see this as a vertical as well,
