    nice and sharp, exposure looks good, splash and food in mouth a definite plus. Like the feet position also. TFS.

    Tack sharp, with good all round detail. Well timed for the take off, and I like the inclusion of the splash, together with his food item. The gull is separated from the sea BG so well.

    Very good sharpness, cool feeding behavior, and a nice splash. I might add a sliver of canvas to the bottom of the frame, because the splash seems a little tight down there.
