A common bird, but I liked the unusual wing position on this one. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Very nice lighting and detail. I like the wing position. I also like that there is more to the background than just blue sky.

I also really like the wing position. A good example of a unique take on a common bird that makes a very nice image.

Gulls are one of my favorite birds to practice flight shots on (they tend to fly straight!). This is an excellent image with wonderful detail, Jerry.

Very cool Jerry. I also like the wing position and your choice of composition with the trees to add some color. Nicely done!
