Attack of the POOP Hawk as we call it here. I'm not a big fan of these birds but I think this shot works perfectly for stock photo. Superb capture on this one.

Great shot! I like the over-exposed look.

Great capture, just enough blur on those wings against a neutral white sky - good luck

A bit too bright

white background seems to make the image a bit difficult to see. Nice stop action, though.

I like the position of the gull and the way you captured the action in this shot but if this were my image there are a couple of things I would change. First, I think I would give the bird a little more room in front and below for it to fly into. I also am not totally thrilled about the background. I am guessing that you were trying for a white background but the picture just appears (to me) to be just too overexposed and a bit too much detail has been lost. I think this image would be really great if it were in front of a plain background that wasn̢۪t so bright.

Or landing. It's actually made much better by the fact that the bird is landing. Soaring can be boring.

I like this, but it looks more like he/she is putting on the brakes rather than soaring!

Almost very good. A little too blurred and the background is a little intense for me. Otherwise, good capture.
