    Very nice and clean looking gull.
    Good clean BG and rock ledge is nice- it allows for a good look at the feet.
    I just wish the light was a little less harsh ( and the whites are getting a bit hot on neck) and that you had a bit more of a head turn towards us.

    Hi Gail. Thank you for the feedback. I made sure there were nor "blinkies" on the neck (and in pp) as, yes, I was concerned that there would be blowouts in that area. I have other shots of a pair of them...may edit and post soon.

    Hi John,
    Thanks for the feedback. Glad it's a new bird for you...I always look forward to seeing species from your neck of the woods too.

    Hi Artie,
    Thank you for the feedback. How about a trip "down under"...free food/bed in exchange for some personal tuition?...oh well, no harm in asking! Cheers.
