WOW what a great shot of a really cute kid.
It's impossible to look at this and not smile.
Sometimes a portait is more than a portrait this is one of those times.
I'm still smiling. Very well done.

Birds

Paul this was my pick for the blue ribbon.
Seagulls are arguably the most photographed bird in the world and we have seen
thousands upon thousands of seagull shots to compare this too.
BUT to have this kind of action and reaction in a seagull shot(or any wildlife shot)for that matter is just superb.
You have taken the ordinary and made it extraordinary.
On top of that I see 3 B's in your shot Birds, Beach, Bite. What more could you ask for.
This is truely a shot to be proud of.

On a side note Hahn23 said these are ring-billed gulls but judging by their size and the tip of their beaks being black my guess would be Herring gull.
It's a bit hard to tell from the picture but that would be my guess.
Again congrats on a great shot.

Very mesmerizing image you have here.
It's like there's a message in the smoke but I can't find it.
I'm going to keep looking though until I find it.
Well done, ya got me thinking.
