You did well with the whites. A fully raised or lowered wing position would have been better IMO, but I do like the curled primaries. Tight in the frame, especially the tail. I do see repeating patterns in the water, suggesting either removed elements or extended canvas. Gulls are fun practice subjects, always up to something interesting
Ditto Dan. Could you post a jpeg that represents the full frame original capture?
thanks with love, artie
