This shot is just for fun because it's oof. It's just a record shot of two gulls fighting for the prize and displaying their aerobatic airbrakes which I thought may strike some as interesting.

Thanks for the super nice comments, Mike, you have no idea how much I really appreciate the one on the gulls. I got into a habit of explaining such shots (calling them record shots) due to certain people's reactions to shots like that on other sites in the past. Apparently, some people are real sticklers for perfection and if I didn't say it was a 'record shot' they would critique the living hell out of it, to the point I had doubts about posting them for fear of having to explain myself once again. Not saying they're pixel peepers, but they are overly critical for shots on the web and not in a contest. My 2 C worth, and thanks again.

Not worth posting somewhere folks can't provide constructive feedback.
