Lovely light on his head (I 'think' it's a male?). Beautiful wingspread, and nice showing of the white tail marking.

Great topside view of this male, Dave, I also like the slight head turn and eye contact.

David, Excellent body position and eye contact. Maybe a bit big in the frame?

Great light and head angle. A stunning bird.
The background is also fantastic with the bits of yellow.

Maybe a bit more room around the bird would be nice but with prime lenses this is hard if the bird get too close.
I had to delete a lot of gull shots I took with my new Z 4/600 TC two days ago because the birds where too close and I clipped the wings.
I think you framed it perfectly given the situation.
