    Hello everyone. During our winter we have a lot of migrating gulls that winter here. Took this a couple of weeks ago before the sun went down.
    I added canvas in front of it and dodged the shadows under the wings.
    C&C welcomed and encouraged.

    Lovely comp and eye contact. Nice exposure and love the cloudy sky bg.
    This image has a very nice feel to it.

    Hi Robert, great 3D effect in this, and the gull really pops out at you. I like your comp with the gull diagonally across the frame, and that cloudy sky looks great. The late afternoon soft light puts the cherry on the top in this. A fine image from you.

    Robert:

    This works very well, the clouds make all the difference, add some depth.
    Nice job lightening the shadows, very believable

    Cheers
