Blue, From The Ground Up

This shot was taken last November when we visited the coast. There was something - obviously some sort of food - floating on the surface of the sea (btw, the sea really is that blue) and one of the gulls spotted and grabbed the stuff. Others weren't far away and a dog fight (gull fight?) ensued. I took the opportunity and snapped a few shots but everything was happening very quickly so this is one of the more successful ones...




I'm posting this for From The Ground Up finale as well as for Project Blue.

It's a great finale from the ground up and a wonderful pic for blue...
Well done, such scenes are very difficult to photograph!

Soothing scene even the gulls are battling!!

Great shot! I love to see birds going after the same food.

Wonderful double play... bird fights always make me think: finders keepers, losers weepers ;-)

You take the most amazing bird photos. How do you DO that?!

thank you all.
quilly: these fellas simply flew into my frame when i was trying to photograph something else. had to adapt quickly, though. and this is a lot easier to do with a dslr than with the compact.
