Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A beautiful stop action picture of the low flying Sea Gull flying into the sun the breeze ruffling the feathers on it's back as it glides in low over the beach. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques 7 sharp focus.

A fine seagull shot posted here! Your composition helps to promote the impression of motion. Like that display of wings and tail feathers! Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done!

Comment from Neilnap773
beautifully captured in flight and structured excellently within the frame with the foam lapping up on the shore as the gull appears to be coming in to land on the sands . The focusing is sharp and the colours of black,grey and white work and harmonise well

Comment from momentsofjoy7351
I love these fellows and this is just such a wonderful shot. Nice placement in the frame for the thoughts of some grand forward movement. Great capture on that eye as well. Fabulous focus - thanks for sharing.

Comment from angelsanddiscus
I did not see the other one but this one you had a good day. Guessing a ring-billed gull. Stop action and focus are sharp and nice dof. Very fine detail on the full and the foaming of air bubbles in the wave. The eye says it all. Nice catch and thanks for sharing.

Comment from Joelgraphuchin
I enjoy two beauties here: the seagull and the water. The reason ( in my eyes) to let more space at the right is that the water is too beautiful not to show...:o)

Great focus and lighting. Both keep details clear.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

A superb shot. The detail in the flight feathers is excellent and the wing position gives a clear view of the face. I like the wave breaking on the beach in the background and the fine color palette.
