Original – A portrait of a ring-billed gull, a species of sea gull found in much of North America. The eyes are yellow with red rims, and the short beak has a black ring around it.
Reason
High quality portrait of a bird, showing all of the key identification points (the red ring around the eye, the black ring around the beak). It was so nice being able to get within a meter or so of the bird. Allowed me to take this shot without a $10,000 lens.
