nice ring-billed, al!! you are right, that bg is really nice.

Al,
Excellent image, do find gulls difficult to photograph and you got the best pose possible, wings down and strong eye expression. wonderful BG, nice details and exposure. might just add a bit canvas on the bottom if it is not too much trouble.

... thought about it but was lazy :) would make a difference !!!
Love the blue as a BG. Great angle you had to shoot this one. A very fine Gull image. Detail is amazing.
I like the look-back pose and sharpness but the BG really makes this one, looks like clouds underneath. The whites could go a tad darker for my taste.
Hi Alfred,
Nice top view, head angle and Bg, I agree with Arash's comments about adding canvas to the bottom.
Like it a lot Al...just wish for a bit more canvas on the bottom.
What is the background BTW?
Pose, sharpness and exposure look great.

Love the top view. Exposure is spot on.
Oh my, you have been posting shots from Nikon...missing the camera?
Miss the D3 :)
Very nice one sir!
I also find the sky very appealing. Great eye contact and details. You must miss you Nikon...
Great flying posture Al, and just love the detail from the top. Good eye contact and HA, and I really like the overall exposure. Congrats.
Such a beauty this Al bhai, loved the pose, great Detail and the BG makes this a winner..
Great pose, clariry and a nice BG. Gulls are fun
