I would’ve called this picture “Free Floating”. What amazing clarity, right down to the expression on the bird’s face – small as it is. The scenery in the background gives the whole picture a fairy tale feeling, I was surprised to read it was dear old London. Thanks for sharing.

What a moment!! and a very humorous pose. I just wish there were some more light on the bird and the bread. Right now there is some back light. But hey one cant have everything Perfect!!

Very nice instant shot and the birds clarity is very good. I am sure you can get better lighting on the bird as Anurag noted. and the bread really came at a good spot where it contrasts with the background.

I love how sharp the bird is compared to the backround! Superb!

Looks like Disney!

I like it, especially the composition. I do think some parts of the Gull are underexposed.

That seagull looks like a bit of a showoff!
Jolly good shot, old boy!

Lovely picture but could have done with a little more lighting.

More lighting yes but very difficult to get the perfect image when its an action shot like this! Looks like he has flown into the camera lens – SPLAT!

Perfectly captured, funny & unique. The gull looks like he’s saying something smart-alecky.
