Lovely soft light and plumage details. Blue BG works beautifully. Strutting pose and flying snow adds a dynamic element but looks a little awkward.

Well lit and great pose. The blue BG is excellent and the snow covered rock is a wonderful foreground. Well done.

I like the striding pose, angle, details and setting. Maybe a bit NR on the BG.

I simply cannot be bored by those gull images. Beautiful and makes me dreaming :)

Nice one Jim. In bright sunlight like this the plumage is almost blue-white. Beautiful sharpness here. Not easy to get much detail in the eye with this sort of tonal range. Your exposure is excellent.
