Darken body, ligthen iris, clone out birds in the background, sharpen the near wing, rotate CW and cropped.

Going through my old gull pictures, these birds do look funny sometimes :D
All comments and suggestion are welcome.

Looks like a laughing gull in full breeding plumage !!

Good exposure and sharp just wish the bird was not intersecting the other shore Open beak calling is another plus !! Well done !! btw as presented I'm tempted to clone out the little round spots in the water, those reflections detract and catch your attention.

Thanaboon, I agree with Alfred's techs and would like to add that it looks like you did some fine PP to the image-looking forward to the next one!

I like the placement of the bird in frame, you have sharp details with a crystal clear eye, I like the raised wing position...agree with Mr. forns on cloning out the white oof specks in the water...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Al pretty much nailed the techs - like the underwing details and the exposure looks good.
Keep them coming :)

Thank you for the techs.
Too bad about the intersect line but here is the version with clone out white spot (other out of focus gulls).
