I like the wing position, exposure control, setting, BG and composition. Well done William.

Looks like nice low angle light and a good low shooting position you had here William. Perfect DOF and good feather detail. You have extracted nice detail in the whites but I think you could push up the brightness just a wee bit. I like to show the brightest whites in this kind of image at about 240 digital numbers. Regards, Ian

Oh I really like the gulls pose, those yummy red legs/feet...the white plumage really pops in this darker scene. A beauty of a background too. Well done on all counts sir.

Quite a stunning image you have here. Love how the bird pops against your darker BG. The wing position and angle are flattering.
