Since when are seagulls silent? Virtually never. They are almost always hollering about something. But these two juveniles sitting on the water, waiting for bread to be thrown to them, were quite happy to keep their big mouths shut for once :-)

Beautiful shot. Just the essentials. The photo is as quiet as the shut-beak birds.

Normally I don't like pics that are this simple...But this is great. I do like the white wash effect..I do wish there was more detail in the front bird but overall very nice
