Hi Geoff. That eye is really cool! Very nice detail in the whites. The side light reveals the contours of the head very nicely.
Great colors in the background. You may consider applying noise reduction to just the background on this one, Geoff. That would smooth it out nicely.
Thanks for posting this! I am really enjoying all these Gulls! I hope I find a Gull shot of mine that is worthy of posting ;)

Very nice color palette. Whites and the eye look great.
I would do some NR on the BG an a very slight amount on the grey feathers.

Nice portrait of this gull. The eye is lovely and you have retained the detail in the feathers very well. The white is really white. I think the crop is fine and the fluffy feather on the beak adds further interest. Agree to a little noise reduction.

Nice portrait shot. The whites look good, head turn is perfect. I only miss a catch light on the eye.

Really an endearing look. I would just lighten the eye area a bit which is caught in the shadow.

I like the comp, colours, details in the whites. Yes to some NR on the BG, and it is a bit unfortunate that the light did not hit the eye better...I'm sure lightening it (but not too much, just to match the lit area) would work well.

A lovely gull that we don't see around here. Nicely captured with good whites. A slightly better light angle would have brought it up a notch, but very nice as posted.

Perfect exposure and lovely details. Agree with BG NR here. Also agree about adding some life to the eye.
