another photo of a gull...
pp work:
cropped, and this time decreased contrast so that more details on the gull are visible(like the eye) and adjusted exposure and shadow/highlight, then framed and resized...
wiki:
Most gulls, particularly Larus species, are ground nesting carnivores, which will take live food or scavenge opportunistically. The live food often includes crabs and small fish. Apart from the kittiwakes, gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea and into surrounding deciduous forests. The large species take up to four years to attain full adult plumage, but two years is typical for small gulls. Large White-Headed Gulls are typically long-lived birds, with a maximum age of 49 years recorded for the Herring Gull.
Gulls nest in large, densely packed, and noisy colonies. They lay two to three speckled eggs in nests composed of vegetation. The young are precocial, being born with dark mottled down, and mobile from birth.
Gulls—the larger species in particular—are resourceful, inquisitive and highly intelligent birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure; for example, many gull colonies display mobbing behaviour, attacking and harassing would-be predators and other intruders. In addition, certain species (e.g. the Herring Gull) have exhibited tool use behaviour. Many species of gull have learned to coexist successfully with humans and have thrived in human habitats . Others rely on kleptoparasitism to get their food. Gulls have been observed preying on live whales, landing on the whale as it surfaces to peck meat, and attempting to make away with domestic pets, such as cats. |

Hi Alper,
Nice closeup 'in flight' shot of the Herring Gull! The eyes are well focused along with head part. Unfortunately, the focus is soft on the wings but overall it works fine here. The colors are well shown and the cloudy sky gives nice contrast to the bird.
Good job!
thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

Buena foto ,en pleno vuelo ,lastima que tenga un poco de movimiento pero que no resta valor a la foto
las fotos de animales siempre son de mucha dificultad para realizarlas
buen trabajo
