Herring Gull( immature)

[Dave Brown]

Hey everyone,

I'd be interested in hearing your take on this image. I had to do quite a bit or work- added a fair bit of canvas to the left and cloned out several gulls in the lower part of the frame. I do like the result but I'd appreciate C and C on this one. I'll try to post something red next!!!

Hi Dave,
The gull looks great in this image. I'm only on my laptop at the moment, but it looks as if you did a good job with your post-processing. My only suggestion would be to lose the dark gray stripe at the top which is distracting. Otherwise, good job!
Regards,
Nicki

Congratulations Dave,
I like the composition, and capture, flight angle. You have razor sharp details and good color rendition...I like Uncle Gus' repost eliminating the dark band on top...:cool:
