Yesterday I was lucky to have these two gorgeos gulls performing in front of my lens. I have never realized how beautiful these gulls are.

Fero, Great action image on his part ... I'd term her nonplussed.

BTW the background is melting ice - unfortunately it looks like a concrete.

Fero, not only are they in a perfect pose but the wing spread is marvelous, the exposure is on the money and so are the colors, FG & BG are studio like and very pleasing, great timing to boot, killer shot!!
Congrats!!

Fero, you get an A-plus from me on this one. Beautiful birds, great action, all techs are on target. Nice low shot making ideal b/g and f/g.
A great moment in Nature, captured.
