I shot this Gull Landing at La salle park 2 weeks ago on a grey day, nothing happening / slim pickings for photos of birds and waterfowl that Sunday.

Awesome shot! Perfect timing! Wings fully out, legs in landing position, and of course the open mouth.

Sweet shot!

Absolutely gorgeous - love the action, high-key, and the watercolor-type reflection.

Well if this is typical, here's to more days of slim pickings/nothing happening.

Absolutely fantastic pose. Wing spread is perfect, legs down ready, and the screaming beak. I thought I had a good shot of a gull landing til I saw this. I'll shelve mine until people forget this.

Can't wait to see more of your stuff.

All the best, Gearoid
