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,

Good points by Gail - lose of detail in the whites.

Beautiful gull, nice BG, lovely flight angle captured. Good points made by Gail.

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 ?
