Man you nailed this one - Great shot! super-sharp & nicely cropped. Kudos, as this must have been hard to do at 300mm.

Wow! Great mid flight shot. I'm glad you caught him off center as it adds more interest, and having such a great blue sky is terrific.

I like the way the bird leads the viewers eyes to the open space on the right of the photo, nice composition.

Way to grab the bird in flight. I like how you were able to get the whole bird in the frame zoomed in that close. I tend to crop the wings off :(

Wow, this is a great "catch"! Nice crisp shot. I agree that the shadow is a bit bothersome, but hey, what're ya gonna do?

Beautiful!! I really like seagull pics. My hubby calls them Sh*t Hamks - but I dont care, I still like them. :-)

Great focus...I have not been able to get a good sharp stop action shot of one myself like this. Keep up the good shooting

Wow, now this is more like it. Great sharpness, great interest. Angle of the gull brings some action to the photo. If only that stupid shadow line wouldn't be there behind his head. Now, how do you stick a reflector under a gull to lighten up the shadow areas :-)
