Herring Gull
Hi to all,

Herring Gull, photographed last year on the east coast, does the crop work? and thanks for looking.

Usual gear.

All comments welcome

Super.... Does the crop work... yes... if possible just a little bit more below and to the right to fly into (without changing the proportions) would add that touch more to the comp (IMO)

Exposure, dynamics are all there...

Works for me, Nice to see the top of the birds wings rather than the usual underside in a Gull flight shot. Your usual high standard of sharpness & exposure are on show.

Works for me, and as its a crop you still have plenty of options. Well seen and executed.

Nice shot Andy! Crop works for me and the blue background is fantastic!

Hello Andrew.

Very nice shot.

Comp works for me and the angle of the bird, with that back ground could'nt be better.
