What a cute and natural capture! It tells a story if you look at what's happening. I also like the background's effects. Normally, this wouldn't have done well in the mainstream challenges because of that effect but, I think it's what really adds to this photo. Really nicely done!

just a tad sharper and this would have been awesome
gulls are near impossible to capture in flight and especially on take off you sure did well

I can't decide if he's whispering sweet nothings in her ear or getting ready to bite her ;-) Gulls are always entertaining, aren't they?

I like it. It's a good in the moment capture. Would have liked to see a tad more focus on the eyes though.

Glad you got the chance to post something - this shot is fun. i reckon a squabble will have broken out moments after you took this; gulls never seem to stay friendly towards each other for more than a moment or two!

I think that I like this version over the one that you posted earlier. Moments like this one are the reason that I keep my camera loaded and ready to shoot any time that I am on the move.
Excellent work.
