Did not believe a gull wood be this close for a shot, even with the big lens on set at 300mm. the sun was good and allowed a nice shadow effect with the angle of the head.
This is full frame with the exception of a minor crop top and right because of background ellements.

Post Challenge: I find the balance of voting in this challenge very strange for this photo to only receive this score, when I see shots in the high 5's low 6's compared to this shot. Maybe I am biased but I believed this would finish in the 6's. Congratulations to all those that did well.
