    This is an image from a Homer IPT last March. These beautiful gulls provide lots of good shooting when the eagles slow down! Any suggestions welcomed.

    Mike:

    Perfect wing position. Like the flared feet and tail as well.

    Sharp, well exposed, excellent comp/framing.

    Works for me.

    Cheers

    Excellent landing pose, the feet are pretty wild looking.
    The exposure looks really good to me, and the overall, the light
    and pleasing pastels are really nice.

    Perfect wing position and love the dropped feet and fanned tail. The whites look spot on. Nice detail in the shadows. Works for me too.

    Mike,
    A very pleasing image, A very common bird but in no way a common shot, The exposure and detail throughout are spot on, "The pose" Head angle, Wing position and feet down really brings this image home. wonderfully done, wish it were mine.

    Neat pose, I like the symmetrical wing position. I would tone down the whites on the wing to our left to match the other...

    Well done!
