Critique Gull in flight

[Pinkbikerbabe]

I went for a walk today, with both my cameras and i was lucky enough to get what i think is my best capture to date of a gull in flight. I am sure i can do much better, this is probably my 5th or 6th outing of trying to do this. The image was taken on my 600D with my tamron 70-300 mm lens all exif detail is available on flickr.

Wow! You did well capturing such a great shot with those camera settings and also short distance (I checked on Flickr). Looks as if you were above the bird. I like the background's motion blur as it adds to the dynamic.
