Lovely image Will and the darker background goes so nice with the bird. Processing looks good as does the framing. Perfect HA raised foot is a bonus. TFS

This is very nice.. I did not know what to expect clicking on the thumbnail, but it Pops!
I do think the BG could use some NR or more of it if you did.

Handsome bird. I'd like to see a bit of a crop from the bottom and some more headroom, though the crop from the bottom may visually take care of the headroom.

Thre gull looks spot on Will - very nice indeed.
A minor point some darker areas in the background look a little less than ideal, a green/yellow faint glistening look to them. (L&R of the bird's head)

All as detailed (plus tons more) in

Thanks for that Artie......Looks a better BG now.

A nice looking gull. I do like the raised foot. Those red legs are nice. Nice and sharp.

Will, just a super sweet and simple one for me. Love the nicely exposed composition and the pop of orange. Awesome foot up pose with darker bkg is sweet.
No nits from me!
