Nice lighting and sharpeness Denise! Love the eye! BTW, the bill is definately damaged! the groove from the feathers to the nostril shouldn't be there! Ouch:eek:.
Sharp with a perfect EXP. Whoa, this bird has one seriously messed up bill, right around the nares is a mess. There are a few chunks missing!

Incredible detail Denise, and how is that eye. Well done on the exposure, and so, so sharp. It would have been interesting to know how he damaged his beak. If this were mine, I would move the gull back slightly to the left. Well captured.
SUPERB portrait Denise, killer eye, pose and BG. I love gulls and their facial expresions. Yesterday I posted a couple of gulls portraits in my blog and was thinking about posting one here but after seeing yours.... I am not sure :p:D
Thankyou all for your comments. I appreciate the feedback. Stuart I wanted to leave the slight bit of white feathers on the left that's why I chose the square crop-but I did initially think along the same lines.:) Juan, I just checked out your blog, Your gull portraits are superb! Bonnie and Kiran, Thankyou both for your kind words.
Herring Gull
