What struck me as unique about this photo was the appearance that the gull was using its right wing as a rudder while flying with the left wing. If only they could do that! The other aspect of the photo I liked was the transparency of the right wing along the back edge - almost like a feather x-ray.

Super photo of a bird in flight. Keep on clicking.
This really does have some great elements to it - wonderful shot of the gull!
Nice flight shot Brian. Love to see one of those in the uk. Lovely blue sky unlike our grey rainy one today.
what a superb shot Brian; wow!
Wonderful flight shot!!
I agree Brian. Great shot!
Fabulous shot Brian
most excellent! his focus looks intense too!
Leave it to you to make a gull look cool! :)
Wow! Great shot.
An incredible shot...the flight shots are so difficult to capture...what a wonderful job you did here and I like what you wrote...that is exactly what it looks like.
Fantastic shot Brian!
Very cool shot.
It's always a bonus when the photographer points out what he/she likes about a photo they took. Such an interesting flying method from this pretty gull. I do love how the light is enhancing each individual feather in that right wing. This gives "right wing" a whole new perspective. :) Great photo, Brian!
i love the feather detail - and like you said - almost transparent look to that wing. i also like how it leads into the black feathers with spots. for some reason, it reminds me of beautiful fabric (and i'm not a seamstress or fashionista!)
Great shot Brian- birds in flight always fascinate me.
It's a beautiful flight shot Brian...
what a great flight shot!! everything about it is perfect, including that beautiful blue sky!!
Beautiful shot, I do like the wing that does seem transparent.
Wow, really beautiful - everything about it!
Thats a great shot - love the translucent wings. Gulls a great birds.

Beautiful shot! I like how his feet are tucked up under his tail. I suppose all birds fly like that, but I've never noticed it before.
I really like the feather detail too, great capture.
It is great. I love it. Seagulls can be rather ordinary along the water's edge...but I love them. This is super.
Fabulous! I shot something very similar the other day, but nowhere near as nice as this :)
Great shot Brian!! Very sharp and lovely colours
Beautiful flight shot, Brian!
