I thought this Great Black Backed Gull was a beautiful bird from the moment I saw it.
The light that was falling on it was a little harsh but in certain spots you could see great detail in the bird. As you can tell the bird is a large gull. In fact, the Great Black Backed Gull (try saying that fast 10 times) is the largest of all gulls in the world.
Of the 3 images, which do you like best?
Images captured with Nikon D700, 600mm f/4 on Lexar Digital Film.
Vinnie, I like the composition of #1 and the head angle of #3 and the feet and rock in #2. So I guess my answer is all three. The Great Black-backed Gull is one of my favorite gulls.
I like number 2.
Thanks Dawn. I think my favorite is #1, but I do like the feet in 2!
Thanks Denise, I think #1 is my favorite but I agree, I like the feet on #2. Have a great weekend.
All three beautiful! Especially love the eye in #1 and #2 overall. #3 really accentuates the beauty of the bill.
Thanks very much Debbie, and thanks for visiting my site. Have a great day.
#3 is my favourite, I like the rich red and the interesting posture.
i like the first up close the best. even then, i think there is too much dead space on the left. i’d crop closer to his bill and take off some of the top
nice shot tho’

Les,
Thanks for the comments and things for stopping by my site. I appreciate the feedback. I agree that a tighter crop would have been better. I need to move closer next time!
Best,
Vinnie
