Juvenile Laughing Gull 2

Another shot of the gull. Let me know which you prefer, yesterday's up close and personal shot, or this more sedate portrait.

they're both very pretty! i like the lighting on this one. great focus, cool ripples on the sand!

[Milanie]

Think maybe this one is my favorite - love the lighting here - they're both super though.

Both are great - I like the texture of the sand in this one (there's more of it ...)

[GINA]

they are both great, but I prefer this one, love the lighting on his feathers and the textures in the sand too!!! love it

Wonderful capture of the textured sand and gull :)

[Janet]

I specially liked the water droplets in yesterday's pic, which gave it movement, but felt the bottom had been cut off. I like the sunshine in today's photo and the patterns in the sand - so on balance, this is my preference.

I've never heard of a laughing gull before!

@janturnbull @glb484 @beachradish @milaniet @sunnygreenwood Thanks all for your input. You should hear the racket the laughing gulls make. I should post a video!

[Dione Giorgio]

Perfect!

I love the sand patterns as well and I love the stop action in the foot

Great shot, very nice detail!
