Black-headed Gull
This gull is 38-44cm long with a 94-105 cm wingspan. It breeds in colonies in large reedbeds or marshes, or on islands in lakes, nesting on the ground. Like most gulls, it is highly gregarious in winter, both when feeding or in evening roosts. It is not a pelagic species, and is rarely seen at sea far from coasts.

Hi Marcin

Superb inflight shot, I love the composition as it looks like an Oil Painting and pose of the Gull is fabulous, the details are good and the colours are excellent with a perfect BG.

Hello Marcin,
A terrific capture with good focus and exposure. Love the texture and slight blur on the wings, which accentuates motion. Face looks mysterious. Well done. Regards,
Hakan

Good sharpness! And nice action shot. I like the timing of the wing position. Details are good as well.

It seems to be looking at you.

Czesc Marcinie!
W tym zdjeciu jest pare elementow, ktore zarowno mi sie podobaja jak i tak i zupelnie nie. Zaczne od tego co jest swietne. A jest to bez watpienia rewelacyjne ujecie, nie latwe do zrobienia przy ptakach a takiej mobilnosci. Do tego bardzo dobra ostrosc i szczegoly :)
To co natomiast srednio mi sie tu podoba to doswietlenie zwierzaka. Troche wiecej swiatla na pewno by zdjeciu nie zaszkodzilo, a z pewnoscia pozwoliloby na wydobycie szczegolow drugiego skrzydla i czesci glowy mewy :)
Pozdrowienia z Lodzi!

Well taken flight shot, looks like your panning was on the money.
