Ring billed gull at Galveston beach. Does the pano crop work?
40D. 400 f5.6 at f/5.6 iso 640. 1/1000. Add exp. comp in camera but should have added more. Had to lighten it in DPP which increased noise. Did NR on BG.
All opinions welcome.

I like the image a lot. The bird is bit noisy but with the NR in most of the image it is not too
distracting. What I like here the most is the walking pose and the raised foot. Low angle is great too.
Hi Kaustubh, Good self critique. I like the placement of the bird in frame. I agree with Ilija that the walking pose is pleasing. In my opinion I think the gray background goes well with the white and gray of the bird. I can't make up my mind about the lighter out of focus strip of foreground at the bottom of the frame but probably would leave it as is. Thanks for sharing.
nice pose,eye contact,angle,soft light!
I like the pano and the pose. Would add just a bit of contrast.

Thx everyone.
I will try and tone down the BG a bit and hopefully the bird will pop.
Nice low angle and walking into image. Cloudy day photographs make for good exposure but a flat look and suggestions as previous posts.

Wonderful job, I love the walking pose with upright chest. Pano crop and low angle work very well. TFS
