Beautiful capture of detail and light on the bird.

One of the better bird images in this challenge. I am very happy to see the detail was left in the feathers and not smoothed over. I also enjoy the contrasts and separation from background. However I do not care for the profile view nor the fact there is no hint, idea, or concept of sunset except for your title. For me it could be any time of day. However Because with this second look I can see how much detail was left I will bump the score a bit.

Nice BW, great detail. Do you ever wonder what they're thinking?

The detail in the feathers is exceptional, but there are a couple things in the composition that I'm not so sure about. The tail feather appears to be clipped a bit, and I'd like to have the breast of the gull against a background that doesn't so nearly blend into it tone wise.

Love the light and clarity, especially on the eye. Makes him look noble (which is not a look I generally associate with gulls).

I like your blurred background and choice of B&W.
