Extreme Preening

Sometimes it takes everything you've got to get those feathers correct!

Young gull, probably either Black-backed or Herring.

Excellent photo! I fell into team photographer for my kiddos T-ball team and the parents really liked some photos of the kids being kids during games - playing in the gravel, making faces, etc. Many people appreciate well executed "normal" phoses, but it seems like well executed photos of not quite normal activities get more appreciation.
- Yes, I've plenty of nice sharp "normal" images of young gulls, but as you say, this sort of thing stands out.
