    Like the vertical comp and the dorsal view. Dark background is nice as well.

    Nice dorsal view of a great bird. The side-to-side placement is perfect; you might consider centering it from top to bottom.

    Hi Bill, excellent exposure and detail on this fellow, and nice and sharp too. The Gull pops so well against the darker water BG. I like the droplet on the tip of the beak.
