Black-headed Gull
Gabbiano Comune
(larus ridibundus)

ENG: I choose this pic beacuse I love the contrast between the dark background and the pale gull (in winter plumage). In summer plumage the head is black.

ITA: Ho scelto questa foto perchè mi piace il contrasto tra lo sfondo scuro e il gabbiano chiaro (in abito invernale).
Il gabbiano comune come dice il suoo nome inglese, nel piumaggio riproduttivo ho la testa nera.

1/5000 @ f 5.6

hi Andrea

it is nice POV
great DOF
nice momment and composition

great shot

si stacca molto bene dallo sfondo...io sbaglio a snobbare questi uccelli...in realtà ce ne sono molti e potrebbe essere un buon allenamento

Hi Andrea,
that's wonderful, we can see every structure of the wings, every single feather.
Excellent sharpness, very well done, thanks

Hi Anfrea,
Good in flight shot.
Like the contrast background/subject.
Nit is a bit of colour noise in background at first sight.

Terrific photo, Andrea. I love the 3-D effect that the stark contrast has created. Great sharpness and detail, as well as exposure control in a tough setting. Very well done.
Best wishes,

Hi Andrea

Wow, a stunning capture of this beautiful gull MF. As you mentioned, the OOF and darkish BG created an amazing and very complimentary contrast with the brighter bird. But, you also managed to freeze the bird in spectacular fashion in mid-flight glory due to the impressive 1/5000 shutter speed. This was of cause aided by the ISO 400 selection and it is pleasing (maybe even surprising) to see very little (insignificant) noise as a result.

The composition is great with good measures applied to the degree of cropping. The colours are well defined and the details are sharp and amazingly crisp for this type of airborne photography. The exposure was well managed with no evidence of OE on the white plumage.

Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
