herring gull
not much more than a headshot really but i quite liked the background, taken on a ferry to France last Saturday so the red is a lifeboat

350D + 300mm F4L + 1.4 TC
1/500 @ F8
ISO 200

Hi Jack,

A nice portrait. I like the way the red of the BG matches the bill spot. I would clone out the bit of white top right to give a whole red BG.

Well spotted and taken

Regards

Rob

Hi

Same as above. I would also sharpen the image a little more. Maybe me but I don't think it looks sharp enough.

Regards

Great portrait Jack and I agree about cloning the top RH corner. :toast:
