Great capture of the landing action! I like the position of the wings and the tail on the landing seagull. The one on the branch seems to be flapping it's wings to welcome the other one.

Great photograph of these two seagulls. Looks like she is excited to see her loved one. Focus and lighting are good. Nicely composed. Sharp detail. Well done. Good luck in the photo contest.

Very nice stop action of both gulls! I love their positions in the frame and the very interesting branch the one is moving toward.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented!

A very nice shot in which the black headed gulls appear to have taken over the cormorants' perch. A fine composition with crisp detail and fine wing positions. A very well timed shot; best of luck in the contest.

He is being received with open arms, nay, wings!:) Very nice capture which has life in it! You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Good luck!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A magnificent stop action picture of the Blackheaded Gulls in winter plumage in the tree tops above the lake standing out clearly from the clear blue sky in the background. Virtually all movement frozen by your fast exposure the light glowing through the fanned tail of the Gull in the air, Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
BEST of luck in the contest.
Susan

Comment from MKFlood
A happy moment capture. The angle of the shot of these birds gathering on this branch is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.
