A sea gull looks on....

Hi Sanjeev. Your sharpness is quite good. But this image has a number of issues. First of all the bird is side lit; this creates a white hot spot on the back of the neck while leaving the most of the rest of the bird in the shade. The actual perch looks great, but the OOF rocks in front of the perch are a distraction (as are the OOF dark things in the URC). The thin blue line of water looks over saturated, and I wish it wasn't running through the bird's head. A higher shooting angle might have eliminated the OOF rocks and put the bird on a more even BG. Please be sure to include your image EXIF data along with your images.

Hi Sanjeev. Doug has covered the bases here. I like the image and sharpness. The horizon needs to be leveled out a little. BTW, this is a Tern and not a Gull. I think this is a Royal Tern.

Thanks Dan and Doug,
I agree with your suggestions and have taken note of your tips. Will include exit data next time, I made a mistake It is a tern and not a gull. I posted in a hurry, sorry. My next post will be better!
Cheers
