Hi Gert,

Lovely macro capture of the Seagull with superb details!
The dark green blurry BG works well for this kind of capture. The eyes of the bird are very well shown. The sharpness and POV are perfect. Very well done, my friend!

kind regards,
Paras

Excelente enfoque y nitidez en los colores. No entiendo casi nada de aves y además su fotografía siempre la he considerado complicada, por eso yo pubñico casi siempre insectos jeje.
