This is one from the harbour, where I was baiting the gulls. I usually go HH when doing BIF, but injured my shoulder. I used a tripod on the gulls in flight, for the first time, and found it good practise, for my trip to the Isle of May tomorrow, for the Terns. Faster birds, I know!!

What a corker well done Will, just love the colors and the pose. The all important eyes are sharp and I like the contrast against the sea.
Being picky now but if you lowered the luminosity of the whites across the shoulders I am sure there would be some additional detail to be had.
Thanks for that Jon, I will give it a go.

Hi Will, agreeing with Jon a real corker. Pleasing wing position, sharp detail, looks great against the background. Thank you for sharing.
