Ouch, nipple cripple from the world's largest gull! that's gotta hurt. Terrific action shot, challenging to compose with all the elements, I think you have done a great job!

[Daniel Cadieux]

I think you've done as well as you could with the scene. The wing position of the young gull is perfect. LOL at Matthew's comment:bg3:

Great action captured. Whites and blacks look good.

Thanks Matthew, Daniel, and Bill.
