While taking pictures in New Buffalo, Michigan we happened upon people feeding these gulls. After the people left I suprised the gulls and caught their initial take off as seen here. Not much editing here, converted from RAW then adjusted brightness/contrast, levels and colors. Barely tweaked the curves and here you have it.

I think some separation between the subject and the bird in the background would have helped. Bokeh does it somewhat, but is still makes the center a bit too busy.
well shot technically, but i always prefer the animal motion shots when the composition is off-center, so it looks like the animal is moving towards something or coming from somewhere (IMO)
