Hello Sebnem,
I have never seen gulls with their bills locked in a fight in this way. You have captured these two Yellow-legged Gulls at the right moment from your car window, the two bills forming a unique red and yellow pattern. That you composed the two heads centrally is just right. This is a fine sharp shot and well presented.
TFS and all the best,
Ivan

This is amazing, Sebnem! You have managed to capture a real action photo here, and that is so difficult, and the reason why most photos are just descriptive and nothing more.
But it is not only an interesting motif, is is almost perfect from a technical view with great sharpness, excellent composition and beautiful colours.

A unique capture!
It's very good the moment of the crossed open beaks.
What a timing!
I like so much the framing and the partial views of the upwards wings, that reinforce the action being done.
Congatulations and thanks for share it.

Wow, the beaks of these fighters are interlocked, Sebnem! The expression in the eyes is fierce. What were they fighting for, by the way?
Your long awaited pictures are a class by themselves. No wonder then that you are the leading light on TN whereas most of us are just shutter pushers :-)!
Your exif data is a source of learning.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Şebnem
A well spotted (ok, even if it was only afterwards) scrap between these two very serious looking gulls. Both locked in a beak grip that makes WWF look like kiddies play.
Considering the fact that you must have been pretty excited yourself by this time you still managed to get a lovely composition. I like how the wing of the bird on the right actually provides some compositional balance to the shot. The exposure was spot-on showing some lovely contrasts on these white birds. The details are nice and sharp and the OOF and very complimenting BG is great.
Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Dear Sebnem!
Interesting story and very good effect of observation :) I have seen situation like this one before, but I am wondering if these 2 are really fighting. The specimen on the left looks like a youger one, so maybe it is a parent with its child (or rather "teenager").
Anyway, very good shot!
