 Normally I don't take shots of gulls...because there are so many of them around Lake Michigan...but these two fit the challenge.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that makes a significant contribution to the challenge.

Indeed Drake, you are right it fits the challenge brief perfectly. The foreground bird is nice and sharply captured with lovely balance provided by the background soft focus bird, I like the way their wings are interlocking it makes for a lovely composition. The only minor criticism is the amount of empty sky above them I think if you cropped nearer to the tops of the birds it would improve the overall result.
