I love shooting gulls so when i saw a group of these gulls soaring around in the Marsh....I was happy!

Comments welcome!
I love the B&W! The sky is perfect for this. Nice wing position and sharpness on
the gull also.
The one thing I'm not sure on is the placement in the frame. I'm on a tiny laptop
screen, so I can't tell if he's to centered or not. Hopefully somebody else will jump
in and comment.
This is a great subject for B/W. I think the position in the frame works well. I'm looking at this on a crummy monitor at work -- are the whites a bit hot on his back?
Bob, I generally prefer bird photography in color, but this works for me. Very well done. Comp and whites look fine to me, although if you had just a bit more on the bottom, you might try and see how that looks (just a little).
Love the feel here...consider including more space underneath, moving the subject to the upper right hand corner and showing the loneness of flight or giving the image a stronger presence by including more habitat. The B&W processing and perfect background work for me...I like what you are trying to do here...well done.
