Hello,
This young gull is from our garden.I liked his pose and wanted to share it with you.
Have a great and sunny day and hope you’ll like it!

SEEGULS
Gulls are seabirds in the family Laridae and subfamily Lari. They are closely related to the terns, and more distantly to the waders, auks and skimmers. Most gulls belong to the large genus Larus.
This versatile species breeds in a range of habitats, including cliffs, beaches, small islands, inland sites and even buildings. They also exploit rubbish dumps, particularly during winter .
Gulls are in general medium to large birds, typically grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They have stout, longish bills and webbed feet.
Two to six eggs, which are variable in colour and patterning, are laid after April; incubation, which is carried out largely by the female, takes between 25 and 27 days. Both parents share paternal care of the downy chicks, which fledge after around 30 days.

Hi Sebnem

Long time no post...i thought something bad hapened...like someone stealing your camera :))
Anyway, a really cool shot, as usual, with a great title, too :)
Great POV, super sharp detals and great light. Also nice timing, finding him with that straw in its beak.
Very well done!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Sebnem,

Very original capture. I would say this bird is flossing its teeth. This is the first time I see the tongue of a gull so close.
TFS.

Hello Sebnem,
A beautiful portrait!
I admire the dynamic framing, the fine details and pleasant colours!
Very well done, as usual...

Hi Sebnem,
An excellent portrait on this Gull. Very nice quality soft light here. The exposure looks to be spot on with the beautiful warm colors and tones. Nice detail with a perfect OOF backround. Looks great!

Una gran expresividad la que has captado aquí Sebnem.
Bonito retrato de esta ave con gran nitidez, principalmente en su cabeza y, aunque el trasfondo no colabora con la composición, el resultado final sigue siendo muy bueno.
Saludos... Ricardo

A great expression that you have captured here Sebnem. Beautiful portrait of this bird with great clarity, mainly in their head and, although the background doesn't collaborate with the composition, the final result continues being very good.
Regards... Ricardo

Hello SeBnem,

TFS Kyle

Hi Sebnem,
Well composed, and an excellent POV of the chompin' :)
Nice and sharp, with excellent detail, DOF, color, and light. I like the title too ;)
Very well done!

Merhaba Sebnem Hanim,
Mukemmel bir marti portresi.Kusun keyfi cok yerinde görunuyor.Resmin her seyi her zamanki gibi super.Tebrikler.Hilmi

Excellent gros plan, Sebnem, de cette belle tête de goéland. Un goéland vraiment différent des nôtres en Amérique. Un bel instantané (snapshot) au bon moment.
Comme vous le mentionnez dans la note, habituellement ils sont blancs ou parfois gris...et je trouve les couleurs de votre oiseau un peu spéciale. Serait-ce l'influence de la lumière du soir?
TFS.

Hello Sebnem,
What a great shot. Good timing on your part catching this seagull in mid-swallow.
It looks like his neck is all swollen from the insect he is trying to get down his throat.
I love that one piece sticking out of his beak (an antenna?).
TFS and good to see a post from you again. : )

Hello Sebnem,

Hello Sebnem,
Good shot of this young Gull. Great exposure and colours, excellent detail and light in the eye. Nice warm light and good DOF. I think there is a little too much space to the left, I think it would work a little better if the line of his back was just onto the bottom edge of the frame. Still great work though!

Adrian

hi Sebnem, I dont know hou this photo past by me. In Slovenia yung sea gulls are gray. On first look I didnot recognise this yung bird. Like always Exceletn explanatin. TFS
Marjan

Magnificent image, Sebnem. It is a sheer delight to be back to the TN and enjoy images like this one.
I decipher a smile on this lucky Luke's face.
What a great picture.
TFS.

I wondered what the title was about until I opened the photo :D
This is a very strange shot, the expression on the face of the bird makes it unusual.
As always nice colours and great details.
Cris&I are thinking about a long weekend in Istanbul to know that impressive city :)
My best regards, Felipe.
