Re: Ring Billed Gulls
Good stuff, James.
I'm not so keen on the first one, just because the position of the wings doesn't show the bird off so well.
But the other two - they really do show it off to best advantage. The focus and the exposure are spot-on.

Re: Ring Billed Gulls
The first one, James, is a classic shot of the end of the wing stroke and is far more difficult to obtain that the 'standard' wings open shots.
I suspect that cropping the top will help to concentrate more on the bird. I would remove at least a quarter of the top area, and whatever is needed from the sides to achieve a suitable length/height ratio.
Exposure is good for these difficult shots.
