Hello Janice!

I'm eating right now :-) White beauty with perfect BG and details. Good moment with bread in beak. I'm very sleepy after this night so sorry - no funny critique today!

Hi Janice

Nice portrait! You have managed to expose the white very well (its often prone to underexposure). Nice catchlight!

hello Janice,

Fabulous close-up!
The details of the gull's head, the texture of its plummage and the subtle interplay of light and shadows is excellent!
The expression speaks loudly of 'Can I manage this at one go!'

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hallo Janice
Absolutely marvellous! Great stuff! A impressive portrait with great details and clarity. Excellent technical skills applied. Wonderful camera work. I don't like it, I love it and it is going straight to where it belong - My favourite box. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
Warmest regards.

Hi Janice!

We all wish him a good appetite! This gull is really cute, and you present him in a crystal clear picture, rich with details. The colour and lighting management is superb, too. It would be interesting to know why you have chosen a very short shutter speed.

Kind regards

Looks like you caught a gull with the muffin as I did a few weeks back. Neat shot. What are the chances? Naw...couldn't be the same one:-) Very nice and clean Janice!

Hello Janice,
These Gulls are so beautiful with the red ring around the eyes and the red beak and this is a great close-up. I love the look in its eye and the bread looks quite good too!;-) Very fine details and beautiful colours, also of the background.
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Hola Janice.
Gulls are not popular bird here where I live in the middle of the desert region, but I meet them every time I have a chance to go to the see, I think they are very smart, and beautiful also. Great image of one of them. very very sharp and excellent detail with the piece bread en beak.
Saludos My friend.

A superb close-up of a NZ Red-billed Gull having his lunch!
The sharpness is excellent to show all the details of the eye and beak in great lighting taken from a fine side POV.
A very nice shot, Janice and thanks for sharing it!
Have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hi Janice,

A wonderful close-up of this gull with his beak stuffed with bread. I love his eye!!! Wonderful shadings of his head and plummage. Superb details and background.

Well, Janice, just as I was enjoying Mario's shot, I've come across this one that is arguably as potent -- perhaps even more so -- in a different way. I really like the size of this image, the close-up presentation that lets us see the texture of the moutfhul, the details of the feathers, and that wide-eyed alertness of the bird itself. Great DOF control, too -- a very pleasing blurring of the background to keep the portrait center stage.

Regards,
Jim

This is a nice sharp image Janice. I like the simple white and red colors of this gull. The softly textured gray background tones nicely with the subject.
