Super job Joe, wonderful exposure, detail and i love the slatey blue BG. I like all of the colors on the gull and the "fringed" worn feather tips... Bravo!
Perfect exposure, great detail. A really nice headshot, Joseph! Also like the view through the nostril, but that's a personal preference!
I agree with the previous comments. Would have like to see more of the bird, but that's just me.:)
Nice portrait of this ring bill. The composition is perfect and the details look great.
It is perfect but it needs 1/10 of one degree more head turn :)
with love, artie
