Too bad you lost the tip of the wing, otherwise very fine.

Agreed with sunsetter. Nice and sharp, good color, just the tip of the wing missing seems to be the only problem.

Hello epeyton@tampabay.rr.com,

I took the liberty to touuch up your wonderful shot.
I thought movement becomes more pronounced in diagonal placement. I lowered it a bit to bring it closure to follow the rule of thirds. The clipped wing is repaired in PS (rough work).

Please pardon me for overstepping my limits, if you find it objectionable, I will remove my post.

Wow, nice work subrataofkris!! I like the crop and your repair work.

Nice capture and timing epeyton. Do share EXIF info and more on how you took this shot?

Subrataofkris, very nice visual I loved what you did and I will recreate it (did you use photoshop?) thank You.

Palachandra, I shot this at exp 1/500s at f/5.6 on auto, ISO 220 75mm. I was at a friend's house and we used popcorn to lure the gulls. It was hard because they are always moving.

Subrataofkris, Can you tell me how you fixed the wing and how you moved the bird up in the sky? I am still new at this but I want to learn. I was beginning to think it was a wasted shot because of the wing. But could use some help on my recreation.
