Well, this is better than any of the shots I got, but I bet there was a lot more selective processing than I did, too -- I think I've "gotten back to basics" a little too much.

Coming back to comment:

I like the painterly effect of your photo.. and think that gulls are under appreciated as they are truly beautiful birds and so graceful in flight.. I like the grain in this shot and the soft muted tone.. it looks like you bumped the colors up a fair bit and that worked well with the blue and the yellow..but not as well with the red - the red in the bird's feet, it's beak and whatever it is holding in it's mouth look a bit off, maybe taking the red down a bit in your pp would have been a better choice, keeping true to the painterly effects the rest of your photo has.

Looks like he's taking a backwards pratfall -- great capture!

BEAUTIFUL soft focus. Really matches the shot and brings out the foam on the water. A really lovely glow to this shot!

The capture is well timed and well composed. The image quality is probably going to cost you several points with the voters. *sigh*

Comment by Kavey:
This image suffers from a LOT of colour noise.
Grain in black and whites, I really like. But chroma noise is simply not pleasing.
Colours also seem pumped a bit looking at the beak area.
Image itself is nice other than those issues.

great sense of motion, the soft focus is lovely and the light is great. 9
