A nice gull photo but I don't see the backlighting

Wheres the backlighting?

Nice detail on the gull. Centered composition isn't doing much for me and I wish the backlighting were stronger to give this more interest.

Good action shot. Not the best example of backlighting.

looks like it could be a bit brighter and the sensor dust could be cloned out.

too much sky, too little bird

Sorry but this is what I would call "flatlit" Gull, the lighting is as flat as I have ever seen it and also the shot is underexposed. When shooting in totally overcast lighting, you really need to post process to bring out any kind of contrast.

it would be better if you could see more lighting in this picture.

Blur.

Not much light to see here - neither from the back or from the front. And your sensor is dirty...

Sorry just does not look at all backlit
