Beautiful shot Jim! Love the fact that you caught the bird just as it was crossing the camera. Lovely background and whites!
Congrats!
Good job on the whites Jim, and sharp where it counts. The gull stands out very well from the greener BG.
Hi Jim, Lovely image the gull contrast nicely with the BG and sharpness looks good.

Beautiful little gull, nicely captured with good exposure and great bg.
Spot on exposure and a beautiful Bg make this one fine capture. love the eye contact as well.
Awesome image. Terrific exposure and killer bg. Very well done, as usual!
Very nice capture James! I see the "Bonys" are also down your way!
Many claps to this brilliant shot. Everything is just perfect- HA, catch light, exposure, and BG
great capture, they are pretty birds. Were you able on any of your other picture of the gull make out any number or letters on the blue wing band. If so the goverment would love to know. it helps them with tracking birds
James, nice exposure control and against a killer BG too.
Cheers,
