    I have no problem with the BG, it's just a good real-life shot. Maybe a slightly higher f-stop would have added DOF to bring the flying bird into better focus, but then you mightn't have stopped the action well enough.

    Nice interaction. Were they scrapping for food, or just a small territorial spat? The BG is what it is but still not bad - I like the bubbling incoming water near the birds. I would prefer a better HA on the upper bird and given the opposite directions the birds are facing this would work well as a square comp with some off the left (and a little more canvas above).

    I don't mind the background at all here Manos. I like the action captured. Better lighting would be desirable and the mentioned head angle would be a plus.

    Good Shooting!

    Great interaction between the two, and both well exposed. I dont mind the BG either. Well captured Manos.

    I do wish for a lower angel to improve BG but the pose, natural moment and interaction are VERY nice here. More room on top and a better wing position on the flying gull would've been nice.
    Congratulaitons!
