Love it. Although the title had me wondering "What is the gull's head on?" :)

Love the shape of the wings on it.

Nice capture Fred. It can be tough to get these guys in focus when they're coming straight at you. Great work.

Right at you, good sharp focus and nice clean background. Good job Fred! Are you still using the 300mm?
