Very cute, I like the angle and tilted head and would give it more room and sharpen more. What species is this?

[Fabs Forns]

Ah, the curiosity of the young. Very nice, tight as mentioned. I think it could go a bit brighter.

[Arthur Morris]

Good comments and suggestions. A nice curious look. I am guessing Swallow-tailed Gull as nothing else comes to mind.

[Tony Whitehead]

Axel's comments cover all my points - tilted head really pushes the cute factor. I also really like the angle at eye level with the bird.

[Trey Barron]

Love the pose on this little one. I would go brighter and loose the white on the left.

Thanks for the comments
Heres the pic as shot, don't know if you can ID it from this.



Thanks Ken

That's enough. Thanks. Swallow-tailed Gull it is. Not many gull species down there.
