    Beautiful image. I just love the pose. Especially with the crossed legs. Excellent control on the whites, great background, and teriffic shooting angle.
    Well done.

    Love the super low shooting angle, walking pose, and the two-tone background.

    Hi Bud, excellent exposure throughout the gull, and just love that eye. The gull is well placed in the frame, and I presume the beach was sloping. That BG is a killer. I miss my marine birds.

    I am not a fan of gulls but I must admit that this one is really well done. I might consider do some CCW rotation according to the OOF FG line osf sharpness.
