    Bonaparte's Gull


    This is my favorite little gull as we seem to get a few that come through and stay for a few days then move on.

    Lovely image James. Great BG, wing position and exposure. Nice and sharp. I can never find any of these guys. Gotta get down to Huntington someday!!

    Good job capturing detail in the blacks (beak) and the whites --

    Very interesting and unusual pose and one good looking bird. Nice eye contact and detail on the plumage.
    I like it...

    Beautiful shot of a sweet little gull, James. The tight composition works well for this little guy.

    Just love the IQ James. Tack sharp and super feather detail. Nice HA with good catch light in the eye.

    Excellent exposure James, and you have captured some really sharp detail. Looking at his wingspan, he sure does look pretty small. Well captured.

    This is a WOW image to me. Amazing! I am surprised how this tight framing works for me.
