This is really neat and I like it a lot. You seem to have some banding in the sky however.

Banding or possibly too strong of a vignette?

Thanks Ben!

yep. It was not bad, in fact I had to scroll to see it, but this is a neat image and worth fixing I think.

Now this one is nice! If ya got the pixels left it might be even better a little tighter?

Edit:
This makes me think of a shot I just took of an Osprey roosted with the moon behind it.

Thanks Dave! I do have some to spare - tighter around the moon, bird or both?

Nah ... that would ruin it. Mono ruins everything, don't ya know.

But, if you do decide to ruin it, you might sneak a peek at just the Red Channel ... might give some inspiration.

I'm thinking maybe loose some on all 4 sides but make sure you keep more empty space in front of him. Basically keep your proportions but just tighten it up to help fill the frame more.

You know, kinda like everyone was telling me on my recent bird shots except I couldn't because of my gear limitation and lack of pixels.

I'll give it a shot! I'm curious - why red?

I'll tell ya ... but not before you tell me first what your thoughts about it are.

HINT: There is no right answer (well, sorta).

I dunno - all I can think of is all the blue light in the scene and how red would have more effect on contrast.

Jeff,

Generally speaking, you're point @ contrast is relevant. In this case, the Red Channel, just struck me as the black night sky (i.e. no red @ all blue), with the moon in it, converting this to a night m0no scene from a day color scene.

It isn't fully complete, and would need work to make the transformation to a mono night scene, but it just struck me @ potential, when I looked at the Red Channel.

Nothing earth shattering, just my imagination.

Also, given your nice lighting "under" the wings ... that doesn't come from the overhead skylight (which is the blue contribution). Therefore, it must (deductive reasoning) have been coming from more direct sunlight (i.e. greater warmth). In that regard, realizing that we are looking at two different sets of lighting (the blue @ sky vs. the warm/neutral @ gull), channel separation can be an opportunity for dynamic / dramatic variance.

You'll have to use your imagination (and PP skills), but I just wondered if you saw the possibilities when looking at the Red Channel. Again ... a bit imaginative ... albeit, maybe a bit too much so.

Thanks Kent! My color knowledge is weak (obviously).

Time to break out the brain, or what's left of it!

Well-composed, balanced, detailed. The moon takes the image up a bit
I like it as is.
