    Hi Chris,
    What kind of gull is this? I like the BG and the light.Great HA. wish the back wing was a bit brighter and it looks like it has a bluish cast. Also, I would tone down the whites on the flank below the wing,

    Wow. Those are some reds. Neat looking gull. Nice and sharp and I like the bg. I might have a look at some off bottom and perhaps left side as well.

    Beautiful image ,Chris !
    I like the wing position HA and clean ,soft bg. Agree on toning down the whites somewhat.
    Was this taken at Blaauwpan ,Bonaero Park ?
