Bill, this is an exceptionally pretty image. Love the clouds and blue sky background and the pose is great. Would like to see a little more room on both sides. Very nice image!
Great pose and BG. I agree regarding more room and there are some artifacts near the wings and BG maybe due to the compression since it is only 24kB.
Gull Noise reduced
Thanks, noticed noise in Blue sky, now removed
Thanks Bill

Bill,
Lovely pose. Nice bg. I agree that some more space would have been better. Is it a full frame image? The artifcats are still visible around the wing tips.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi
Thanks Sabyasachi,
This is not a full frame bu was close image and cropped to this size. I just looked at the Raw image and thiose jaggies are present there on the top feathers. Could it be feather fly out or something. .
I was suprised at using shutter priority helped so much on these images.

Love the pose and wonderful head turn in this capture Bill. I too would love to see a tad more room all round. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful pose and light, if a bit tight in the frame.
Beautiful colours and pose. The jaggies on the wings are not an issue, they are just the wavy edge of the flight feather. The blockiness in the blue BG is JPG compression artifact from compressing to a small file size. If saved as a higher quality jpg with a file size closer to 200 Kb than 20Kb they would be small enough not to be visible

Thanks Judy, Fabs, Tony and Doug for your comments. Tony, I did not know that saving so small would make artifacts like that. Appreciate it.

Lovely pose, EXP and sky. A bit tight as noted, but not much. Even in the repost the BKGR is quite lumpy/funky... Also a bit over-SAT-ed...
