Nice shot nikman.
The semi high key image with that beak that really stands out ... nice.
Only one thing for me is that it's a little tightly framed.
Otherwise nice shot and tack sharp especially that eye

What a great action and story telling shot here. You have captured this fellow in full 'squawk mode' lol I know these guys can be pretty loud.

Nice placement in frame with good sharp focus. The whites are well done and not blown out.

Great entry for the contest. Best of luck Nik ~ Steve

Nice closeup action shot of a gull with the background having an out of focus grey toned gull and the white upper left to give balance to the negative space. The cropping intensifies the action. I like this one. Reasons for my five star vote.

Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Sharply focused A well-timed still action shot!
I can almost hear the shrill squawk!
EyeCATching wildlife image.

Bright lighting. (Can the sky be toned down a bit?)
Compact framing.

Impressive entry. Potential voters choice...

Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for sharing...

Your capture and close up is very sharp and the details of the gull are very clear. The capture is so realistic, I think I can hear the squawk from here. Camera techniques are very good in all regards.

A very nice close up with great detail in the eye. The colors are great and the tight cropping is attractive. I like the second bird in the background. It gives his something to squawk about.

Fantastic shot t the perfect second to have him in full action - great portrait shot, clear and sharp in details and even done against the light contrast lighting and exposure are perfect
Your frame is well adapted and for sure in has a nice visual impact
well reacted , well done

As I live on the coast in the UK this is a common sight here! I can almost hear the noise.... Love the pose you caught here as the seagull squawks with his bill wide open. Very good focus. Great composition. Suzanne

This is a wonderful close-up shot of sea gull in action with its bill wide open !You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!
