Another seagull

Went for a coffee down the beach this afternoon and met this chap. He didn't mind posing! :)

Great exposure in those white feathers Greg!

I reckon some more sharpening in the eye would lift the shot a little along with a little dodging or other lightening technique on the bill.

Yes, very nice. The beak on second one is much sharper than the first. He either moved or it is due to DOF. Great bokeh.

Lovely shots and I agree with MA's critique.
Shot 1 might also look cool as a square with a bit of craaaawwww-ping.
