Herring Gull + Re-post
I was at Eyemouth Harbour in the Scottish Borders, a young child was throwing bread in the water for the gulls to feed on. It gave me a opportunity to get some flight shots.

Canon 40D, Canon 300mm f2.8, F4, 1/6400sec, ISO 200

well caught Ron might have looked better with a vertical crop so there is room for him to fly into

You've captured a great pose. I agree with Karen about a vertical crop. :smile:

Good action. I agree re crop.

Yep, a vertical crop with a touch more space below would be nice but a well caught piece of action from a much maligned bird.

Hello Ron.

Love the pose you have captured but I also think a portrait format would have worked better.

Hi All

I have made a portrait format of the picture and I agree it does look better

Many thanks for the advice

Ron
