I think one of the skills you have is to keep the image very simple-no cloying environmental distractions.so well done here as the contrast is terrific and the reflection makes it better........

Beautiful catch yourself, Gerry! Do the other seagulls have anything to do with this one? I'd be jealous if I were one of them and saw what this guy captured.

Great image, Gerry! He will sure be well fed that day ... if he can keep it away from the other gulls.

Incredible, Gerry. My only suggestion would be to have included the reflection. Sharpness is fantastic.

Well, his got "his" I see...as you certainly got yours. I've got to show my photography teacher this one... *waves to Art..hi*.... He's always harping on 100 ISO is the only setting that is going to afford you the sharpest quality you can get...I beg to differ with him as I look at this at 400 ISO...I don't believe I'd want to see this any more sharply presented..it's perfect and I hope these last two uploads that are now in my bird fave folder don't scare away all the other birds in it..LOL....

Great shot. If this is ice he's standing and the fish is frozen, then he could be saying "I remember the days when we had fast food" (ok, I hear the groans)
