Common Bird Project - Ring-billed Gull

[Harold Davis]

this might be pushing it a little. i think we were supposed to be doing backyard birds, but this one is really close and i do see them flying over my house occasionally.

D300, Bigma at 500mm, f/8, 1/2500s, ISO 640, manual exposure

thanks for looking. comments and critiques much appreciated.

Harold, very unique head tilt. Nice light and whites. Only wish is a little room above. The orbital ring is standing out nicely.

I also like the color of the eye ring. The detail in the iris is pretty neat too.

Sweet bird, love the tilted head and detail. You can tell the beginning of the red inside the bill.
See ya!

I like the head position, sharpness and eye contact and find the few back feathers a bit distracting.

Nice head shot showing the eye ring. Ring-billed gulls are getting to be the most common gull around. Love taking photos of them
