Its a nice timing and a great composition - but the lack of sharpness and flat lighting is making it a simple looking shot imo.. 5

Pacific Gull? Awesome panning effect, I like how the wings are blurred too. I understand your point about lots of space to fly but the bird seems a bit small in frame for me. It's right on a thirds intersection, well done with that.

I'm sure you were thrilled to get this image. However, the quality doesn't make for a great submission.

Nice pan on the bird. I like that the tips of the wings are a touch blurred.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

wow...he/she really seems to be moving...would like to see more clarity in the bird although

A very nice image that for me, falls slightly short with the bird not quite being the whole way clean......5

LOve the motion here.

The bird in this image needs to be sharper to hold the image together, as with it blurred, it is a large blurrred scene
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Really great backdrop and shutter speed. Wish the bird was a bit more focused.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Well caught, love the smooth blur of what I'm guessing is water under the bird. Well composed as well, I like the space available on the right side of the frame.
