Really nice.  I like the light on the left wing.  Almost looks very shiny.

That took some panning.  I haven't learned to do that very well yet.  I'd certainly like to be able to.

Pat, that wasn't panning.   I cheated a bit.   I was on a ferry, and the gull was flying just fast enough to keep up with the ferry.

They keep alert for anything edible one might drop on the deck.   Some people feed them, so if you walk out of the cabin, they flock around, hoping you'll have something for them.

Talk about aggressive panhandlers.

Oh, I was in a situation like that once coming from Manitoulin Island to Tobermory here in Ontario and a gull was right above me for a long distance.  (I didn't have my camera! )

Now, is that you in that last one?

No, it's not me.  Just some guy on deck feeding the gulls.    You can see how competitive they are for a good position.   They actually peck at each other in mid-air when it gets too crowded.

Just great to see.

Where was the ferry?

I really like the Gull Watcher shot.  The silhouette effect sets a perfect mood for this image.

I really like the Gull Watcher shot, too!  I love hazy, moody shots like this one.
