Needless to say: VFS as our SOT would state.
Sweet and simple and cute - most apparently they had no idea of being watched !
The unique approach to symmetricality in composition here is just great.

Well I always clean up when I come out of the water too! Excellent capture Jim - love the sand patterns in the background.

Nice lighting and sharp focus on the birds Jimbob. The shadows and the marks in the sand add to the beauty of this scene.

You have a number of various textures in your image Jimbob - and that pair of gulls preening until the feathers feel that they're back in place - then perhaps, look for some nice juicy clams Very cool capture!!!:-):-):-)!!!

Wonderful job capturing some nice textures in the top portion of the image and the two skyrat's cleaning themselves. Working at an entertainment park, I hear them all day! Caa Ca Ca Caaaa!

I know...they are looking for their car keys.
I like the patterns in the sand/water in the upper portion of your image, Jimbob. Nature's artistry at work.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")

This shot has many different interesting aspects JimBob. The wavy lines at the top (tide lines?) and the reflections in the ocean add a great deal of interest to these two vane birds. Good capture.

A great capture of the gulls doing their morning yoga routine. Good lighting and patterns in the beach sand.
