Cool one. I think you should have cropped out the lower part of the frame.

Nice job!! You've captured it taking off which is wonderful...if you took this in sports mode did you capture shots after he took off?? I'd like to see a full wing span...Nice clarity of its head and eyes.

Lovely shot. I've never seen a seagull in this pose before. Perfect focus and lighting.

What a pose! Agree with cropping bottom...

@Manuela Photography: I don't ... I think cropping makes the photo less strong, now it's really the gull taking of from the fence. Without the fence the power of taking off is missed, imho.
