These are beautiful gulls, and you caught a great pose here. Really nice detail, perfect red beak, and great sea.

A favorite gull species. Nice pose. Seems a bit over saturated.

Patrick, Great capture. It is better than any image I got of this guy. Like the pose and you composition with plenty of room on the right for the gull to look into.
