A very captivating image Sandipan. I like the backlighting here very much and the fact that you captured two birds sharp adds a lot. Please take the time to comment on others images as much as you can. From the posts I have seen you are a very good avian photographer and I am sure you could help others improve with your comments. Cheers.

Love the backlighting, but even more, the positioning of the two gulls.

Nice play of light with good detail in the shadows.
The lines of the curved wings accents the photo very well.
