    Hi all. The self-imposed brief was to get the gull close, low angle, sharp and with an "ideal" HA. Feedback appreciated and taken onboard as always. Cheers.

    You succeeded very well with regards to good HA and low POV. Image is nice and sharp.
    I think I would bump up the exposure slightly and crop a bit tighter. I give you an A- on your brief!!

    What kind of gull Paul? I like the details and subtle shading on the whites. The eye ring and beak are fantastic to the white and gray bird. I would be tempted to try a vertical crop, tight. Always good to know what you're shopping for!

    Very nice Paul...Lovely whites. Nice HA and a good POV. The BG shows the bird well. No nits here.

    Hi Gail. The exposure looks good to me, but I'll have another look...didn't want to blow out the highlights. I'll also try a tighter crop...is there too much room to the right? A- is not too bad...lol
    Ann. This is a silver gull...the commonest type...100% certainty to see them, so easy to photograph. I'll tr the crop as suggested.
    Cheers.
