Yo Jimbo, ya just gotta WING it somtimes (LOL!)!!! Y'know.. if you used one of Photoshops custom brushes and set the FEATHERING to 1111111.32 , you just might be able to fix this! ok OK...I'll "BUGGER" off now! Seriously...since you have plenty of megapixels, I would bet you could get a decent crop of this gulls front and back end! Would make for an interesting compo thats for sure!
