Another from my day out with a variety of 8 different species of Gulls.

Pretty darn neat to see a gull flying in snowfall. As is you could place your subject even a little lower in frame, thus adding a bit at top (I find the top wing-tip close to the edge). All-in-all very cool!

I like these images that include falling snow. The snow plus the gray on gray look gives it a mood I'm quite familiar with at this time of year. Good sharpness on the bird. I would tend to agree with Daniel's comments on composition. On my monitor the top of the bird's head looks pretty bright - could maybe tone that down a bit. Well done.

Love the falling snow and the beautiful Flight pose. A real treat to see a seagull in snow. I agree that a little more canvas on top would strengthen this image. Many thanks for sharing Mike.

Just the position as mentioned but love the image Sharp, well exposed and lots of feel !!!

This is one sweet capture. Good exposure, top pose and the feel is great with the falling snow. I agree about repositioning the bird a little, and think the head could do with a slight toning down. Wish it was mine!!

I think that some parts in the gull´s head are hot but the composition and mood of the scene is fantastic. Those falling snow flakes are fantastic. Congratulations for the nice image!

Another amazing image of a gull flying in snow. I like this lots Mike, and well captured.

... or crop from the bottom. Why? As is, the image is top heavy.

I'm with the gang that love's the snow and the mood.
