Killer plumage, low angle and the open bill is great.

Your last days in "wonderful" Montreal Fero... sigh...

Loved so many of your gull shots, this one, makes no exception. Love the FG and BG how they blend, just nice!

Love the DOF, the pose, the angle and the composition.

My only nit is the OOF blade of grass in front of the bird's breast. Perhaps it could be cloned out (though it would take a better cloner than me)?

Beautiful gull Fero. I love the extra fine detail you captured in this image, especially in the grey body feathers.
