There's nothing to validate on this shot - it's simply fantastic! Well done and good luck in the challenge! (Excellent crop for compostion by the way)

Good action capture here! Nice composition. It looks like there may be some blown highlights on the bird.

While the bird itself isn't very detailed the capture as a whole is awesome. Great shot!

I like the shot but you can really see the post processing. It looks like you should have used a smaller cloning tool.

Excellently composed, even more so considering this had to be captured on the fly. Lots of subtle leading lines as well. Very nice!

This is fantastic - I thought that my first time through and had to come back and bump this up - 10. Amazing capture to begin with, but I love how you composed it as well for the challenge so that he isn't dead center. The trail leading in from the right and he is heading out to the left. This is the kind of photo I aspire to take.

What great timing on this!
Not sure the reflection blur/smoothness works for me, but a great image regardless.

Great linear composition. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

this is one of the best bird action pictures I have seen on this site...the symmetry of the gull, reflections and the line in the water is perfect...has to be a 10 from me
