Default Feathers, Fresh fish heads & Feet flinging sand

My funny seagulls were well received, I hope these shots will also amuse DPSers.

Gulls are always looking for a handout & this fellow was no exception:


These two are fighting over a small bite of bread:


A closeup from the pic above to illustrate flinging sand off their feet as they do battle:


An afternoon snack... fresh fish head... yummy!

Way cool! I love the pelican but the close-up of the seagulls is outstanding! Great work!

Thanks Freddy, a compliment from you means a whole lot to me!

I have a large print of this frame & it turned out pretty good but I bet someone with more experience could do a little photoshop-magic & improve it. I am learning, mostly by trial & error. I am very aware my taste is a bit edgy. For instance, I trim at unusual places & rarely adhere to the rule of thirds. But hey, it's my work & I can do what pleases me..... isn't that a wonderful thing about photography & since the advent of digital, it's soooo easy.

Ya know, that's what I like the most about photography. The rules are meant to be broken... We have a creative side that is just itching for something to do and I found it's outlet just like you have. These are great shots and I love your "edgy" production. Keep it up, I'm looking forward to more.
