Really cool! Good job at making this simple. The head could be a bit sharper IMO. Very unique, though, in a good way!

Very neat composition, Craig. It does help with critique if you post your shooting specs. :toast:

Craig,

I like this unique view of this gull and how the head is framed by the OOF wings. The head & eye do seem a touch soft, perhaps a bit of selective sharpening there would give the image more impact?

A very nice and different approach. I like the viewpoint and comp of this shot very much. Is this a very close flight shot or is he stretching his wings and how much of a crop is this?
