Description
I met my friend here while cruising the Baltic. Try to figure out how I was able to snap this one...there are more!

I love seagulls! I was feeding this guy chocolate chip cookies to get him to fly down to me! Was a bit tricky holding the camera in one hand and cookie in the other. I photoshopped out my fingers and cookie.

Oh MY! Thanks for the fav! You are allowing both seagulls into your fav gallery...could be dangerous! You know I am not legally responsible for any damage done by the birds once you invite them into your space!

Wow, great timing on this shot. The pose and motion are perfect, and the background (especially the gull overhead) makes the picture all the more interesting. I love it.

This is a great pic!!! For some reason it makes me think of Alfred Hitchcock! You're not really Tippi Hedren are you? Do big flocks of birds follow you around? How do you keep your car clean? I'm surprised that Cimsagro hasn't PS'd a version of this with chunks of flesh hanging out of the bird's mouth! I think she'd be the best one for the job!!!

Are you sure it's not that you've eaten so much chicken that they just think you're one of them? Did you get the urge to fly south last October? Humm.... my Mom flies to Florida for the Winter, does that make her part bird? Life is so full of questions.

LOL!!! I'll have to mention to ol' Cimsagro that she needs to get the blood out again for some cool bird shots! All I have to do is walk outside and the birds find me! I am pretty sure I was bird royalty in a previous life and made some ridiculous promise to the species that if I come back as a human I'll make their lives better. Somehow, I don't quite remember what I promised even though the birds keep trying to tell me!

This is amazing. If he came that close to me, I would have dropped my camera and ducked for cover!

I had my camera in one hand and a cookie in the other. The bird sort of hovered in front of me trying to deside whether the camera was as tasty as the cookie. He was such a cool bird! I love his expression!

It's really a fabulous shot....don't know how you were able to hold the camera so steady! But so glad you did!

a split second after this shot was taken the bird grabbed a piece of cookie out of my hand! So cool!

Great capture...
I must admit, the old trick of throwing food into the air is the one I use...
Cookie in the hand?
I don't think I have the guts for that..
I love the look on the gulls face..
Its very much an 'incoming' capture...
Brilliant...

The focus here is great, and the way the wings are blurred to give the feeling of motion is really effective. And... of course... the expression on the gull's face! That can't be beat. I love it.
