Gorgeous light and great wing position, Sandy.  I like the trailing wake as well.

Beautiful light in this image, Sandy. The colors reflecting in the water are great. The reflection of the gull is a huge bonus. Great job.

Sandy: nicely done. The water trail, the outstretched wings, the reflection and the tidbit in the beak all add up to make a great capture. Richard

Great light, and I like the  wonderful colors reflected on the water along with the trailing wake. The detail on the bird is excellent as well. Nice work Sandy,

Very nice light and transitions here. I like the splashing. Wing position is good. Tidbit in the mouth is a plus. Wish the bird wasn't so centered.
