Original - Common Gull in winter plumage.
Reason
Good EV, good detail, nice composition. I don't normally do this sort of photography, so any feedback will be gratefully received.

Thanks for the feedback. I assume this isn't going to make it as a FP now, but any feedback about improving the image would be welcomed: the bird is fairly common, so I will have a go at reshooting it. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 06:49, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty much my only complaint would be the blown highlights. Other than that quality is pretty nice: smooth bokeh, subject is sharp, bird is completely in the frame and shot from a good angle. Jujutacular talk 13:20, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's pretty good, but while there's a number of exceptions, it's usually preferred to get the full bird - this one completely loses the feet. --jjron (talk) 13:23, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
