Wonderful flight shot of this seagull! The seagull is perfectly sharp. The getting ready to land pose is great with the wings forward and the feet back. Great light and a beautiful blue sky background.

Mike,
Just outstanding, The color the detail are superb. The positioning in the image is on the money. The shadows are wonderful. although the entry is for action and you have stopped it in this image , the mind still sees this bird moving. well done.

wonderful shot with great stop action, the seagull stands out clear and well defined against the blue sky, good eye clarity, I like the shadow underneath the bird which highlights the detail in the body, beautiful elegant wings. very well placed in the frame. great contest entry good luck.

Wow what an excellent capture - a winner shot in stop action - you clicked the perfect second to have him in this extreme flight position, in addition the angle and close up is stunning, your shot is clear and sharp in details has the perfect lighting , color saturation and contrast
I specially like the uniform blue sky letting the bird stand out so beautifully without any distraction. Excellent job

Comment from David Ruhl


This is a fantastic shot, worth 6 stars if I had any left. The clear blue sky is a beautiful contrast to his white feathers. You captured him in action, and I can see the sun shining through his wing feathers. Well done!

This is an exceptional capture of this flying seagull looking to land.
The lighting is excellent enabling the viewer to see the details of the wings and feathers so clearly and his face. Clarity is excellent against the bluest of skies. Extremely well photographed!

This is an excellent action shot of a seagull coming to land. It has movement and fine details. The markings and feathers are very good and the angle also. I like the clarity of the head, the yellow beak and eye with the dedicated concentration. The underbelly shows good shading. Nice focus and use of light.

I can't find anything wrong about this photo and everything right! The focus is clear and crisp. You can see each feather. The sky is perfectly blue. The wings are in the exact best position to show movement. The lighting against the white feathers shows them off to perfection. Love it.

I love this picture of a seagull. I seldom use levels and curves in photoshop but you have done wonderful work in your adjustment with this tool. I also like the placement of your seagull in this piece. I have absolutely nothing to criticize.

Very nice capture of the flight action! The wing feathers have good detail and the face is sharp with that eye standing out nicely. The colors are vibrant and attractive.
