    Beautiful shot Jim! Love the fact that you caught the bird just as it was crossing the camera. Lovely background and whites!
    Congrats!

    Good job on the whites Jim, and sharp where it counts. The gull stands out very well from the greener BG.

    great capture, they are pretty birds. Were you able on any of your other picture of the gull make out any number or letters on the blue wing band. If so the goverment would love to know. it helps them with tracking birds
