Ring-Billed Gull

This Gull was photographed Labor Day weekend when I met Lana Hayes and Brian Zwiebel in Conneaut to work on shorebirds. The shorebirds never showed up while I was there so I worked on the gulls instead. I wish I had shot this as a vertical, but this is cropped from a horizontal.

10D, 500mm f4 IS, EF1.4xII, ISO 200, f9, 1/800

Any comments are appreciated.

Gorgeous image Bruce, I especially like the fact that it's preening. Love the sharp eye.
