Well, although I do have some more shots of the Terns and the Skimmers,, today I wanted to show you this Seagull shot, I really like it and as she did colaborate a bunch with me, she deserves this post. Hope you like it.
Ps: I know she is preety centered in the frame, but I really didn't have much choice.

I like it Ramón - I think the BG has a nice thirds proportion with sky and sand, the bird has a nice pose. I reckon the eye looks a little strange, almost soft, but that can't be right since the head appears quite sharp. :)
Nice ruffling pose of a post-breeding Laughing Gull. EXP good. Even lower would have been better as the horizon line cutting the bird is distracting. See you FRI.

Ákos: In the RAW file, the eye looks sharp, so it is probalby or a PP problem or a monitor one as I see it well in mine.
Axel: I will try to add a bit more room on top and right if it does look better I'll re-post.
Arthur: I really couldn't get lower, I was with the lens almost touching the sand, the thing is that the beach goes a bit up towards the sea (like a very little hill :) ) So there was no way I could down the horizon more, I would've loved to, I even try from an upper angle to have only sand in the background, but I liked better this situation.
Thanks to all of you for taking the time to C&C!!! It is apreciated!
Just a seagull
