I photographed this crazy buddy this morning. He was constantly chasing other gulls and gave me some great action opps :)

I had to do some cloning of OOF BG stuff.

Big time WOW from my side. "Peak bill open" takes it several nothces up. Terrific terrific bird angle.

[Marina Scarr]

This is a pretty awesome capture, Jan. Love the composition, the BG, the angle and the action/behavior.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

killer pose/details!

[Gal Shon]

Superb.
Angle, pose, BG, light and Comp looks great.
was the bill sharpened selectively ?

With such detail in the head area you can really feel the aggression. I really like this picture, but would prefer the remaining oof blotches (rocks?) to not be there.

[Myer Bornstein]

Love this picture gulls can be very aggressive, you captured the feelings of the moment. I wouldn't change anything in the picture.

Great job, absolutely love everything about this photograph! What a pose! Nice angle on the wing spread and the bill opening is spectacular, great detail on the tongue. Congratulations!

[Gerald Kelberg]

Well done, Jan! Excellent pose and action well captured - good exposure and super sharpness.

Nice DoF in this. Super action with the head pin sharp.
