What a flock - there are so many, I don't know where to look. A tighter crop with fewer might be better and less busy, or some additional clear subject may help as a resting place for the eyes.

There sure are a lot of them! Nice stop motion and good clarity on these guys.

Wonderful capture of wind (and energy). I can almost hear the noise that this group had to have been making. :) Looks like the technicals are in order. The way the seagulls span the photo lends nice balance to this. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

The birds are very beautiful, but I'm not sure it depicts wind - it seems to be more of flight.

Lovely crisp image of the black backed gulls. It's obviously a windy day. 8.
