This is indeed a great entry into this contest, and especially the stop action is really good. It is also lovely the way the light is falling on the bird, and it is standing out from the blue sky in an excellent way.

Your photo is pin sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the bird, and the exposure is very good.

The tight cropping and format works well, and the bird has got a good placement within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo with a good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A fine shot of the seagull landing. The clarity and focus are very good. You have framed it well. The colours, light and the composition have come out well. Good luck!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Excellent choice of subject. Aptly captured for the contest theme...

Well timed still motion shot.
Sharply focused.
Bright lighting.
Compact framing.

I don't mind the clipped wing tips as the overall impact has more than compensated the minor flaw.

Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for sharing...

Nice shot! This is a neat photograph. I have several like this. I think this should work well for this contest. I is a shame the wing is cot off but still good.

Nice stop of the action as this gull is coming in to land . This is a well photographed image with good focus ,the image is clear, the white feathers show good detail , nice view of its eye. The clipped wing takes away from the impact , I wish you had managed to get it all in ! Otherwise, this is a great shot and a good entry for the contest too!

    Your kind review is appreciated! Could not get all of the wing as it all happened too fast!

Good close-up of the seagull. He looks determined as he is about to swoop down on something. Well focused and lighting is good. Blue sky really makes him stand out well.

Comment from Artistic Chick


Considering everyone is moving in this shot, it is incredibly sharp. What great timing. The wings and tail at rutter spread. Legs down and feet ready to land. You can see the sharpness in his eyes. The concentration of his face is so sharp. Beautiful blue sky. Great shot.
