    Hello Bill, wonderful to get the pair in focus and with different positions. I like the contrast in your composition, good details. I would suggest blending the vertical shadow that intersects with the gull on the right, also maybe some eye work to open up the eyes. Nice frame Bill!

    A good result in the steep light, for sure. No catchlights is tough though.....

    Hi Bill, good angled poses from both Gulls, and they pop nicely against the darker BG.
