Ring-billed Gull

[Greg Morris]

1DX, 500 f4L w/1.4x, 1/2500 @ f8, ISO 400, on monopod, pp in LRCC

I've been working on my BIF skills and have taken a thousand photos of gulls over a local lake. I have had some decent success and thought this is one of the best as far as detail on the face. The bird was closing in on me, so most of the crop is from top and bottom to remove some ugly rocky coastline above. The focus point is just below the beak, but on the pics immediately before and after, the focus point is on the head or beak.

I'm interested to hear your comments.

Thanks in advance,
Greg
