Great Black back Gull in Flight

[docholiday]

Not sure about the crop on this one, I like the face and tail, I think the wing crop works to accentuate this. any thoughts ?

I know the sky is noisy, but struggled with this in PP. dont have photoshop to do a selective de noise and if I de noise the whole pic the feather definition is lost, interested in your thoughts.

do you have the full version to hand, with the full wing coverage in it?

nice fan on the tail, good shot

I'd prefer it with the full wing span I think. Nice shot though.
