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.
