    Nice gull. I like the subtle two toned BG. Pose and details on the bird look good. In a perfect world the closest wing could be completely up to avoid the bit of shadow. Very nice look at a common species. TFS

    Ditto Alex on the near wing. Some NIK Detail Extractor would help even things out. Love the dark cloud.

    I like the sharpness, exposure, red eye ring, composition and dark upper BG adds to the image. Well done John.
