I like the action and exposure, light seems great and exposure is right on, I think I wuld´ve left more room at the top. Congratulaitons!

Great behavior and eye contact. There is a slight sharpening halo around bill and feet and it could go a tad brighter for my taste.

John, Nice image! That Ivory Gull is sure helping the economy in MA with folks flying / driving from all over.
Flipped a coin and went to Salisbury last week after finishing up the Snowy Owl release at PI. Maybe I should have gone South. See you at the Osprey Fest in May. Bob

Hi Bob,

It is still coming to the area in the mornings as of today people are leaving chicken which seams to be its favorite meal right now.

I am looking forward to the Alewifes and Osprey's I am just starting to think about grabbing a place for a long weekend in the area

Hope it is a good as last year

Right on exposure for the white on white which isn't easy. I wish for a lower angle had it been possible. Nice capture of a beautiful bird!
