A ring-billed gull from today at a local lake. Full frame, edits in Capture NXD, some more NR using neat image, sharpened in PS. BG is ice. As a side note, I recently got a new computer and new (used) lens, but between figuring out how my photos look on the new comp, trying to AFFT (lens was backfocusing and I don't have a tripod outside of an amazon basics one...), and dealing with heat shimmer on the past couple outings, it's been a total headache trying to figure out if everything is working as it should.
I like the sharpness, complimentary BG and composition wise I would add canvas on the left and go with a pane crop. Nice image of an overlooked bird Alex.
Hi Alex, tack sharp on the head, and I like the shape of the curved wings. The colours of the BG complement the Gull nicely. Comp wise, another vote for adding some canvas to the LHS, and I would move the gull up higher in the frame.
