Really well captured. I just don't seem to be able to get shots like this crisp and clear.

Your seagulls are quite different than ours. This is an excellent capture of him flying by.

To capture the gull in flight is quite a feat. It's really sharp.

Anthony Lambert from Bielefeld, Germany
I´m not fooled,you bought this in a gift shop in Tenby or somewhere,it´s a fake gull on a stick and you´ve photo shopped the stick out of the shot.What a cheap trick,I can´t believe people would actually fall for this !!!
