    I don't really see much to improve here Chris. Very nice rendition of this super gull. Beautiful pose and wing angle. Great light and exposure. There might be slight adjustments to the crop that one could make but the increment would be minimal IMO. Perhaps for the wall you might want to remove the little spot on the right wing and tone down the little light line on the left wing in the mouth of the bird. Also perhaps tone down the dark OOF blotches in the BG.

    This is as John says, quite loverly and he has made some good suggestions for small improvements. I especially love the calling pose and the underwing detail on the near wing. Plus, I love this species. Keep em coming just like this.
