    Killer action. Cropping some of the right makes the image stronger IMO.

    Amazing capture. If only the Gulls head were visible, it would be perfect.
    Very nice focus for a shot like this and the water drops add a lot to the action.

    Who won? Great action captured and I can see Alan's point regarding the right side but I wouldn't lose any of the water drops.

    Terrific action captured. Being able to see the gull's head would take this to the next level. I like the idea of cropping a bit off the right.

    So this is how you get a bittern in the open? A well trained gull

    Great action!

    Manos:

    Great timing. All the pertinent comments have been rendered, but quite a striking image. Agree about a sliver of a crop from the right. Would be nice to see a larger version to appreciate the detail better.

    Cheers
