		| | These are very nice. My favorite of the two was greed. I like the air all around, the little yellow spark in the middle and the motion blurs. Very dynamic and fun.
 The Guts photo made me laugh out loud though. I liked those idiotic expresions on the other gulls faces. Made me think of the stupid gulls from "Finding Nemo" movie...   "mine? mine? mine?"

		| | thank you for your comment :) but seriously, it was hillarious, as soon as I threw out one french fry, every other sea gull in the vicinity was within a 15 foot radius of me

		| | These photos are AWESOME.  I thought of the nemo gulls too, perhaps that has something to do with your processing, it looks a bit cartoonish.  Love these.  Do you have more? |

		| | I liked them also.  Can you descibe what post-processing you did in "Greed"? |

		| | I have a couple more, and I'll put them up in a little while. I think I need to go see "Finding Nemo" because at this point, I have no idea what either of you guys is refering to :-p

 sure, can.
 increased saturation, minor levels adjustment, USM, contrast, extra-saturation with tool on feet + beaks, moved the guy all the way on the right a bit higher than he was in the original, tight crop

		| | thanks again for your comments. the day before when we were at a different beach, the gulls there were even bolder and 5 or 6 of them at a time would try to grab food from your hand mid-flight! ... too bad I didn't have my camera on me then :-/
