    Hi all. Haven't been able to get out and do bird photography (except for crows, noisy miners, peewees in my back garden), so am posting this one taken a while ago. However, during this "lockdown" I have been getting my Canon 100mm macro and MPE65mm macro/MT24EX twin light out of retirement for a spot of macro photography...I did macro fairly exclusively years ago, and am finding a renewed passion for it. I'll be posting some shots taken in the past week soon on the macro forum...would love some feedback on them. Cheers and hope everyone is staying safe.

    7Dii, 100-400@400mm, f8, 1/2500sec, iso400, HH.

    Paul:

    Agree with David's thoughts. Plus, the color of the bill plays well with the background. Look forward to your macro posts!

    Well focused and good colours. Maybe you could have teased a little more detail from the whites?

    Looking forward to some macro from you Paul - we need some more participants!

    I don't mean to hijack your post but everyone is welcome on macro - come on you Canon boys and girls if you haven't got a macro lens I bet you have a 100-400 and a TC. (Sorry I don't know the equivalent Nikon!!)

    Focus is bang on. Like the background and the way the gull is looking down. I could see the bird more to the right.
