Hi Joseph, great detail on the underwings and fanned tail. I like the high key finish in this, and wonder if you reduced the yellows, you would have a more accurate colour to the Gull.
Super nice details on the near wing. Good high key feel and the translucence on the feathers is pretty neat. I'd prefer less room right and below and I detect a bit of a green cast to some areas of the plumage. Adding a tiny catchlight would liven the subject.
