Default Simply Gulls

I found myself amongst lots of seagulls on a ferry crossing. Grabbed the camera and tried panning, those Seagull are fast... There are more in my flickr...

like them all but the 3rd one is great - really sharp and almost gazing at you - nice work

Are these from the Seacome or Woodside Ferry, or was it from somewhere even more exotic, they are great Chiwalatta, and I agree with Tim, the third is my favourite as well

Great shots Chiwalatta, I like the first one best, I think you captured enough movement to enable the viewer to see the speed of the gulls. TFS

I like all of them, but No1 is superb. As I said on your stream photo comments, the DoF with the blurred seagull in the back and the sharp front seagull make it a very nice shot.

Great shots ... nice and clean .. my fav is the last too ... if I could make a suggestion about the cropping .. I find that these would look even better if they where not so centered .. maybe just a bit of cropping on the left side ... just my 2 cents .. but great shot as is ...
