A very nice profile. The lighting is excellent and the colors are good, though a bit on the cool side. I like the bokeh in the background and the sharp detail in both the eye and the plumage.

What a beautiful capture of this seagull. The clarity and the detail is amazing and I love the light cast on its head. Excelllent colors in the bill and
A lovely color throughout the photo giving it a cool and soft appearance.

Beautiful profile view of this lovely seagull - I know some people think they are a pest but I live on the coast and like to hear them. We have some very large ones on the East Coast where I live. I like the background you have here and the overall blue tinge. Excellent lighting and focus. Great composition. Suzanne

Comment from Jo Calderbank
a really nice detailed close up here of this seagull as it looks in reflection out to sea, the bokeh works well
in this picture adding a dream like calm feeling, in contrast to the pin sharp focus on the bird which is well positioned in
the frame.
