    Default Great Black-backed Gull with a Ray

    I spotted this GBBG carrying something, turned out to be a Ray, the Gull dropped it in front of me & started thrashing it about before swallowing it whole the background was a fast approaching blanket of very dark cloud.

    I like the hovering pose, and that is a nice surprise to see you had a ray in the frame - the gull swallowed it whole?!?!? Man, the gluttons that they are! Exposure looks good and you have some nice details. Just the comp that needs tweaking IMO...perhaps trimming some off bottom and left.
