Thanks so much, everyone. Really appreciate your kind comments. Very glad you like the shot. I honestly didn't think it'd do this well in a FS. It's a wonerful pleasant surprise. None of the details in the shot where blurred (except selective noise removal in the sky), I did crop the sides and had two b/w conversions to choose from, one which had a lighter sky color, but playing with the channels I do like how the darker sky came out in this one but the feather detail was better in the color version. Also, updated the exif.

How I so wanted this to win a ribbon. I adore gull shots and I've never seen one quite like this. I'll echo chromeydome's words, technically and artistically superb. Congrats on the PostLumie :)

PostLuminous Award WINNER!
my comment from yesterday got "vanished" somehow...

This is clearly technically superb. Add in artistically superb, too. Tones, textures, conversion, composition, reflexes on the shutter, all your choices here yield a surpassingly luminous creation that is endlessly fascinating.

Nicely capture details on a very quickly moving subject...the creamy background really makes him pop. Well done!

Well I think this will turn out to be my favourite of the challenge, beautiful contrast between blur and sharpness - gives it a great sense of peace:)
