While enjoying a few days off this weekend the wife and I took advantage of a fantastic November day and visited one of our favorite areas. Found these gulls playing and decided to make my first attempt at BIF with the new Sigma 150-500 OS. Light wasn't the greatest, but managed a few decent shots.
Thanks for looking.

#1 - 2 are nice and sharp.
I would consider cropping tighter and leaving room in front of the birds to "fly into" try to avoid centring the subject, I do this on the computer. When shooting BIF getting them in the frame is challenging enough so do the framing after at home.

Agreed, the series is nice, but you need to leave room in the ongoing direction; it doesn't have to be much.
