Cut Throat Supper

3rd image in a series of 4 in seagull vs big fish.
So, here we see Jonathan Livingston Seagull pulling out thr main chest/throat cartilage in order to get to the heart of the matter (so to speak) (literally, actually!). At this point other gulls and huge tern were gathering in a semicircle around me. They were slowly closing in, when JLS looked up, flapped his wings in anger and shrieked several times. Some flew off, a few backed up, the tern moved closer and tried to grab at the fish. I was too excited and scared to move, so the fight was not on camera. JLS won to finish gutting the fish.

Nice action capture, Lori. Your photos shows the problems with auto mode. The exposure is spot-on, and the gull is sharp, but the fish is just a little out of focus. In Aperture mode, you could tighten the aperture a bit, have a bit moredepth of field, and get the fish in focus, too.
