Good interaction captured and good to have both nice and sharp. Interesting that the Grey-hooded seems only to have one leg.

I also noticed that, Tony, I wish she had both for the shot, but hey.. she was doing just fine :)

Good cloning job with the gull´s leg Ramon:D (just kidding) I like a lot the chasing action and the fact that two gulls species are involved. Great light and very nice sharpness with the 2X TC. Very good job!

a beautiful composition Ramon, really nice light.

Both birds nice in focus. Delicate light. Red looks too strong, but could be that my monitor can't handle it. 2X extender and this sharpness? I could never use to my 1.4X and I sold it :o.

Sweet light, and great interaction between the two. I like the open beak on the chaser. Well captured Ramon.
