Remarkable capture Judy. Wonderful expression, I like the detail of the eye.
They certainly can squawk.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

Wow! One bird with real attitude. Great photo Judy.

7 Aug 2008 12:29pm

@Viewfinder: Thank you ....... he did have an attitude!

Tracey from White Hall, United States

Great timing to catch the beak open like that. We were recently at the beach and I know how demanding these guys can be!

7 Aug 2008 12:31pm

@Tracey: Fortunately we didn't have any food with us or he could have been a real nuisance! ;D

Arash from Dubai, United Arab Emirates

nice shot with clear details, but you could blur background, it bring out your bird, thank you.

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Squawk, squawk Judy. What a great picture of Mr. Seagull. Maybe this is Jonathan Seagull?? Wonderful detail. They have such attitude and I have always loved pictures of seagulls flying, eating, gathering ....whatever.

@Marion: He was really a bit pesky, but as I wrote to someone else, thank goodness we didn't have food with us - only water!

Mandy Provan from Johannesburg, South Africa

Judy this is spectacular!!! i love how you have caught him mid squawk!!! Awesome work!! I love it

7 Aug 2008 4:58pm

@Mandy Provan: Thank you, Mandy ... he made it quite easy to capture him! ;D

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

That's a great one, really sharp, and I can imagine the squawk.

7 Aug 2008 7:26pm

@Observing: Thanks, Mike ... and for today's too.

Chris from South Jersey, United States

How wonderful to catch him in mid-squawk!! Great detailed shot, but the background is a bit grainy (not sure if you over-sharpened in Photoshop or not). They are noisy birds, aren't they!!

7 Aug 2008 8:22pm

@Chris: Thanks, Chris; the 'grain' doesn't show in the full size photo, but appeared when I cropped it for AM3. Perhaps it was over-sharpened in the larger image from a couple of years ago as well.
