Like the pose on the bird, nice background as well.

Really nice wing position and HA. I especially like the fanned out tail feathers. I like the tonal shift of the BG but feel the dark green part is just a sliver too small compared to the other areas if that makes sense. Must be pretty fun to photograph these guys off the balcony. TFS

I want your balcony, although tomorrow I will be heading to the gulf for some beach chair photography. Nice topside view, sharp, nice colors. All works for me, thank you for sharing.

Nice banking pose, and great colours. A bit of CCW rotation may be needed here as all BG lines seem slightly slanted.

Love this. Sweet shot of a very common and mostly overlooked bird. Love the pose and the details are great. I think your horizon line looks level to me but the greenery below is not level. That is a bit of bad luck and I think I agree with how you presented the shot. I love how the gull is still retaining a few of the 3rd year retrices. I think the whites could be a tiny bit more white as they have a slight gray look to me.

I like almost everything about this one. I would go wth about a 1 degree CCW rotation even based on the horizon. I would have liked the bird a bit farther back in the frame.

wtih love, artie

Great looking frame William! I like the nice colors and details and the swept wing position really gives the sense of speed. Just a bit more room on the bottom for me but otherwise looks nice. Well done
