Excellent, David. The wing position is superb and the splash from the previous touchdown adds a lot to the image.

I always find gull pictures a lot more interesting when they're on the water or just above the water. This is no exception. Nice wing position and nice detail in the feathers.

I'm glad somebody else is willing to shoot photos of gulls. Despite being so common, I think they are very pretty birds. This was a good action capture with an excellent exposure that protects all the details in those bright white feathers.
