Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
Oh, my word ... you were quick to capture this action! I can't tell if he's landing on the rock, or catching something in the water, the way his head is, but you snapped at the perfect moment!

@Judy: This was taken a second before yesterday's...I like the after and before sequence ;) thanks alot Judy !
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
Wow, what a fantastic shot... the adventure of this seagull, perfectly captured, Lorraine :)
17 Aug 2009 11:20am
@Nina: Thanks a lot Nina, that was right before whatever he caught yesterday lol
Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada
LOL...great capture Lorraine! I think he is hiding because the other birds would laugh at him if they saw what he was eating...... ;-))
17 Aug 2009 11:23am
@Eric Cousineau: What he was eating is was he had in his mouth yesterday ;) I like disorder lol
Ronnie 2¢ from Atlantic Shores, United Kingdom
These birds have such skill . . and little fear, it seems !
17 Aug 2009 11:37am
@Ronnie 2¢: lol yes that rock is big ;) thanks Ronnie!
Barbara from Florida, United States
Perfect timing for both of you. What a timely snap. I like his upward wings, it shows his timing of swooping in to nab what he spotted just before that next wave completed motion. Great shot, I like the two images, before and after.
17 Aug 2009 12:42pm
@Barbara: Hey Barb, thanks a lot actually it's a after and before, since yesterday part was act 2, today's 1...I'm strange like that lol
Cheryl from Texas, United States
super capture! I hope he didn't hurt himself doing that face dive!
17 Aug 2009 12:58pm
@Cheryl: Apparently not, if you look at yesterday's which is really the second photo, this is the first lol thanks a lot!
KathyCalculates from Indianapolis, United States
Diving in on a wing and a prayer!
17 Aug 2009 1:01pm
@KathyCalculates: Nicely put kathy :)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Nothing strange, just unique and that is what makes the most interesting. This could be either way, before/after... after/before, still fabulous shot.
17 Aug 2009 1:45pm
@Barbara: Thanks again Barb ;)
tyan from Singapore, Singapore
was he fishing for food?For a moment,i thought he was trapped in the rocks.But his wings in action made him look really majestic somewhat.:)
17 Aug 2009 2:00pm
@tyan: Fishing for food, I assure you if he had been trapped I would not have taken a photo, I would have helped him ;)
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France

@john4jack: Hey Jack, glad you enjoyed :)
LESLIE from norwich, United Kingdom
Excellent timing Lorraine, ( perhaps he's a shy bird doesn't like his photo taken ! )
Well done
17 Aug 2009 4:22pm
@LESLIE: yeah he saw me and he ducked ;) lol

Great capture Lorraine. Would never had known it was before yesterdays shot had you not mentioned it. I would've just thought he was going back for seconds. LOL.
