    In winter plumage the head and neck can become quite dark.

    Hi

    Really like this, bird pops from BG, nice sharp details and tones are lovely, as is the general positioning and HA

    I Would recrop with tail included if you have it.

    Hi,

    I'm not sure what you mean - the tail is there under the primary extension, above the right hand tip of the rock.

    A nice simple gull shot that pops from the screen. I think that Richard U. Has possibly not scrolled to the edge of the image. It opens with the primaries/tail clipped on my screen too, but I just need to scroll the blue bar to the right. Still, I wonder if a touch more space above and behind would improve the image.

    Hi

    Strange indeed since it now shows full image; earlier I am sure it did not but I cant explain why ?

    I am sure this had nothing to do with browser/scrolling - odd but hey whatever looks great now !

    Nice exposure and detail, I have a similar problem i.e. i have to scroll to the right to get the tail in - even after hitting F11 I suspect it is a limitation of my 19" screen.

    Hi,

    My screen is 17" (Macbook Pro) and I don't have to scroll! However, I noticed today that when I look at this site on my Iphone, the thumbnails (but not the full images) are all missing their right hand eadges. All very strange, and I wonder - do you have to scroll to see any other images?

    Hi Richard

    In truth I have never had to use scroll on here I have a 24" wide screen monitor on 1900 res,
    whatever prompted me to post earlier has now gone; I cant really comment on your I Phone experience as I dont have one but I have in the past seen that with thumbnails on my website control area when preparing pics.

    regards
    Richard

    Nice details on the bird but a bit too tight...
