Lovely capture of the beautiful seagull flying very low over the beach. I love the pose you caught and the angle you used, showing the frothy water lapping on to the beach. Excellent lighting and focus. Great composition. Suzanne

I love this photo!!! How you captured this bird just as he was coning in for a landing or whatever he is doing is a feat in itself. The photo is so eye appealing with the bubbly waves rushing up on the beach and the smooth sand in its contrast makes for a very interesting piece. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank goodness for rapid fire settings. This one is so sharp and clear that you must have hitched a ride for this view. The cropping and the construction of the shot is perfect. The rushing wave breaking on shore and the gull flying towards it give a feeling of motion/movement. Great light and stop action.

Love the detail of the bird in flight from top view and the softness of the ocean with bubbles. The bird on the sand shows up nice.

Comment from Kbanich
What a nice POV or overhead shot of this one. You position and your subjects position to the water was well timed and allows a nice environmental feel to the image. I really like the crop and how you have allowed room for the water to continue to the left while allowing room for the bird to fly into the right. Kudos Fred - Awesome shot - nice exposure - great light - perfect DOF and very sharp and detailed. Kathy

What beautiful wings Jonathan Livingston has. The frothy water is a perfect background with darker wet sand under him so he stands out. He's positioned perfectly in the photo. Excellent job.

Great close up capture of this Ringed billed Gull in action Fred.
Shutter speed was superb here catching both the bird and the wave.
Great POV, controlled whites and fine clarity.
Nice work!
