Great DOF. I'm always amazed at how these gulls seem to jump out of the picture.

Well caught! Perhaps the exposure could be a bit clearer, but a good shot of the moment.

The blue is a little overpowering here, nice shot though.

Love it. I like that the background is a complete blur and the subject is so in focus, kinda makes it look like a 3-D photo. <10>

A bit to blue for me but it is a great sharp picture.

Great capture, very clear. The colours in the ocean and sky seem a bit too blue and unnatural.

"WOW" this was great timimg on your part.....
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good timing on the shot.
The horizon is off by about 0.0004 degrees - just kidding!!!
The overall impact here seems a bit too saturated & harsh for my preferences.

Nice focus on the seagull...I love the color blue but it seems a little over-saturated to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The seascape behind the gull is just fullenough of colour and definition to really make this photo without detracting from the fine detail of the bird's feathers. The eye, of course, makes this bird very lively.

Great color and detail.

Wow! Very well done! Unbelievable focus on a moving bird, and the dark blue tones make this absolutely stunning!

That little white rip-curl behind the gull's tail draws me out of the frame a tad but I love everything else about it, welldone and good luck

Brilliant blues. Terrific focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

great stopped action...bird is crisp and in focus, well done...sea looks a little too blue, so I'd pull back the saturation slider a bit
