Hi Mark,

nicely caught shot lovely and sharp and good background :toast:

The light looks to have been a bit harsh though.

I think this is a great shot of what happens in nature and well grabbed. But the way things are going on this forum -is it a photo ?- which is what the critique is supposed to be based on.
I give up. I really do.
Anyway - looks OK to me.

As one who is a naturalist first, a scientist second and a photographer third I think it a very good capture of a classic piece of gull behaviour. Still may be worth seeing if you can do anything to control that contrast though.

A great natural history and behavioural image Mark, but the harsh light does detract rather. Shame the rest of it's back wasn't shaded, but you have made the most of the moment. Nice one.
