Gulls in conflict

A pair of laughing gulls on Biscayne Bay, another in a series of shots taken while I anchored near the sponge farm where these birds were roosting.

Very cool interaction Connie! Love this image - I guess if a little more separation existed between the two it would have been even better, but I love it AS IS! :)

Great poses from both birds. Good composition and exposure control. I do wish that ugly board wasn't in the frame and might even be tempted to clone it out.

Action captured is wonderful. Great timing.

Cool interaction and great capture. Perch is not unfortunately not that great. The lower gull seems to be a bit soft.

Connie, I like how the top gull is framed in the V shape wings of the lower gull. Good interaction, both with open beaks, and love the hint of clouds in the BG.

Beautiful action, loved the soft feel, would have loved a little bigger image though, congrats...
