From mid-January at Point Lookout, Long Island. A group of bonapartes gulls was grabbing morsels out of a churning sea. Light was from behind so the only hope was a look-back. This bird obliged.
Thanks for looking and for your comments.

Very nice. WIth all that room behind the bird, a SQ crop might be best. Good job w/the head turn.

Well done, I think the bakground adds a lot of interest to this image, a little more room at the front of the bird maybe a little from the back, but I would be very happy with it as is if it were mine.
