I positioned myself to get some topside action that I think shows these relatively plain birds well.

I like the dramatic pose, and the colours and tones on the gull are spot on. I'm not sure if its a presentation thing but for some reason the head doesn't look as crisp as I'd expect given the techs - was the AF slightly off?
