Nice and sharp and the whites are perfect on my screen. Great background too.

Have they had a tiff? :biggrin:
Position in the frame works well with them looking opposite ways. I know it isn't reality but I'd maybe remove the streak of gull poo. A very nice shot :smile:

Some people hate Herring Gulls, I'm quite the opposite and this is a lovely shot of them. The whites look spot on on my laptop and that's a perfect BG. I agree with Magnus about maybe a bit of discreet cloning :smile:

Nice work Alan in all aspects, the second image post cloning is much better.. Nice detail, light and agree about the great BG.
