Great Capture there Yogestee , did you wait long for them to line up like that , or is it a case of being there at the right moment. Either way well done :)

Jurgen, I saw this in critique too, and really liked it. :) The red of their legs and beaks is great against the grey and white.

Well, since you posted in critique(I have very little time for other forums) I will help you with this image :wink:

The angle is perfect for the suject, except the tail is blending with the BG. Might I suggest opening the shadows slightly to seperate a bit more.

Had the front gull been looking a bit more towards the camera the lighting would be more pleasing on it's head(drawing attention to it's eye)

Hind sight is always 20/20 and I think you did a fine job (no helping the blown highlights without serious raw work)
