GBBG with prey - skimmer

[Myer Bornstein]

I obtained this image at Artie's JBNWR-Nickerson IPT. I missed out when the gull first grabbed the young skimmer but got it holding the head and pulling the entrails out

Its amazing what these guys will eat, I like the pano crop, blacks look a little to dark...nicely done Myer

Totally gruesome.... but I guess it's just nature at its wildest. Looks like you had a challenge on your hands getting a balanced exposure. I also like the pano crop. Perhaps a tweak to brighten up the shadows just a little.

Thanks for the comments I selectively lightened the blacks on the gull
