I love the action, lighting and composition of these two gulls. Unusual and artistic.

Terrific back lighting here, Sandipan and the pose creates a fine sense of aerial artistry. You've handled the high contrast very well holding detail in the bird's faces and bodies.

Wonderful photo Sandipan. The backlighting, composition,and exposure are perfect, with just enough detail in the shadows. Really well done!

Love the back light and the position of the gulls relative to one another.
