Backyard Bird( a project)- Gull

[Dave Leroy]

Well not quite in my backyard but close enough. I often over look gulls and especially immatures.This was taken early one morning. 50D, 500mm, f/4, EC +1 2/3, ISO1600.

Nice light and underwing detail. Needed the wings to be in the full up position.... As presented, there is too much dead space at the bottom.

For most of us a fairly fresh juvenile Glaucous-winged Gull would be a pretty good bird....

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Angle, light and eye contact look very good. Another vote for a tighter crop. Do you have one with the wings all the way up or down?

[Steve Canuel]

Tough crowd :). I actually like the wing position here, reminds me of a hood ornament.

[Fabs Forns]

Love the light and details. Another vote for tighter crop.

Thanks for being part of the project :)

[Dave Leroy]

No that is the only one I have Axel.

I like the crop idea.

And thanks for the comments.

Good id Artie.

[Markus Jais]

Wonderful light and very good sharpness and exposure. I agree with the others about a tighter crop.
I like the wing position as presented.

[Dave Leroy]

This should be about right for a crop.
