You got great focus for being on a boat! :-) The color is really nice and natural. I like the fluid lines too. I'm a sucker for a good bird shot (and no that doesn't mean for you to give me the bird - LOL). I like this a lot - the water spray really adds to the image.

Wow. 10. Depth of field and stopping motion here is superb. May have worked a tad better if there was evidence of some motion (the drops help massively here, makes the photo much more dynamic) but I'm not marking down on that, lovely work.

Nicely captured. I wish the gull's wing wasn't obscuring part of it's head, though.

Cool that you can see the water splashing up from the wing. Nice tight cropped image. Looks a tad oversharpened to me though.

A nice capture, but not extremely spectacular. The lighting just seems a little to flatish, and focus is off just a hair.

I love how you've caught the splashes of water coming off the wing - it reminds me of my Best of 2004 entry :) Man, that seems like a long time ago!

nice action - not quite as in focus as I would like to see - but it isnt easy freezing a flying bird

Fantastic capture. I always try to catch them just like this, and I'm never quick enough. That's why I appreciate a photo like this so much! Great job. I love the effect of the water droplets splashing too.

see if you can get the gull to dip his left wing a little lower... ;)
