that bird only has ONE leg!!! I love how much this is in focus and the stopped motion of this.

10! 10! What a catch. What in the world did you throw up for them to catch. There's not a thing wrong with this, and everything right. Maybe you could have made the lucky one catching the bait stick his other leg out to where we can see it easily. This should produce a ribbon. Fantastic.

Awesome picture! One of 4 of my 10's this week. The white and blue colors are excellent and the fact that you threw the bread up to the bird added tons to this picture. The composition is awesome. The only thing I would change, but I'm sure it isn't possible at this point is the cut of wing of the gull in the background. Nice job!

hahaha! What a great capture! You can just sense the jealousy of that bird next to him. Harsh lighting conditions. The feathers are hot in places. Also not quite as cliche as some of the other subjects 9

Excellent capture, you couldn't have gotten this one any better. A one legged seagull in full flight catching a bit of bread! I love the crisp blue sky and the fact that you have all those gulls in focus. Well done. 10.

Justine,
Thanks for the critique. I found it to be helpful. I agree with the part about the head. It and the dark jacket blend in with the background. A cap would've been good.
