I have been down to the river (Detroit River) the past week checking out waterfowl and these Ring Billed Seagulls have been putting on a show for me on the ice along shore. These guys were chasing another seagull away when I took this shot. I used Nikon D50 with Tamron 70-300 lens set at 300mm. Shutter was at 1/1000 with aperture at f/5.6 and ISO at 800.

Great shot, wonderful clarity and a fantastic pose from these three. I like the way you have captured the cold grey atmosphere of the environment also.

What a performance from these guys. I guess they got what they wanted. A splendid shot for certain. I had to laugh when I pulled it up!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

awesome attitude from the birds, good clarity,and very comical thanks for sharing

Gerry this is great, I love it! I added it to my favorites and also have it as my desktop now. Great timing in that they are all doing exactly the same thing. It's also amazingly clear and sharp. Looking at them, I wonder what their squawking meant.. to them I mean. The look really into it.. it meant something to them! cheers, Quiet

How funny...reminds me of the movie "Finding Neemo" where all the fish and animals talked, but all the seagulls did was say, "Mine. Mine. Mine." HA HA HA!!! Just too funny, Jerry..thanks for this one and it was taken so perfectly too !!!

If you love something, set it free.
It it comes back to you, it is yours.
If it does not, it was never meant to be.

I'll join the rest, Gerry, in my congrats for a fabulous shot! Straight into my personal bird folder with many thanks for the viewing pleasure.

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
I really like this shot.
And I am sure that ISO 800, which make a shot a little noisy, only contributed to achieve this gey and grainy effect that empasizes the aggression of the bird.
Perfect composition, my hat off for you!

The past is only a memory, the future a fantasy. it's only in the present that we truly live.

Those red mouths/beaks look like the gates of hell (well they would be for a fish) purly terrifying functional orifices for moving fish into their bellies. I hope I'm not reincarnated as a mackerel
