Spent a day at Manhattan Beach. Shot some seagulls.

Those are some nice looking birds, but I don't see why you had to shoot them... (j/k)
I enjoy the last one the most, although the first one seems similar to the eagle on the seal for the president of the USA.

I'll bet those beauties can stay aloft all day looking for a meal.

Shot some seagulls.
Illegal in some states. (Are they federally protected?)
They're gulls, not seagulls. No such species as seagulls, really, though many chose to further reduce them to "rats with wings".
Despite some of their unsavory characteristics, they're graceful in flight, and that in itself is a joy to watch.
I like shots 1, 2, and 4 were tack sharp, and that #3 showed a touch of motion.
Flight is amazing. Flying like Superman would be great, but lacking in the grace and power of winged creatures.

RAMD,
I liked that third one a lot because of the motion. It's hard as heck to get details that show motion...that's what I liked about it.
Those gulls were graceful in flight, but were hunkering for some popcorn near me...and thus were easier to shoot.
Thanks for the C&C.
