Another Fishing Shot...

[MrGrumpy]

I caught this sequence (but not necessarily in this order ) on Sunday evening in Bridlington harbour.

I saw the gull catch the fish then drop it, and I managed to snap it on its second attempt. However, I cut off the wings, so decided to put this sequence together to try and salvage it.

This is a bit small, so there's a bigger version on Flickr here but it exceeds the posting limits on here.

Taken with EOS 400D with 75-300 (probably nearer 300!)

It's my first attempt at something like this, so would be interested in any feedback.

Thanks for looking

Nice shots. That 3rd one is a corker. You've caught the high spot of the action so who really cares about cutting the wings off? Those chances don't grow on trees.

I agree with CT's comments, but!

IMO, the presentation could have been better.
I would prefer to see the three images with the same dimensions.
The style of presentation however is very pleasing.

Thanks for your feedback. I tried to keep them all the same at first, but the last picture looked lost anything other than square, and I couldn't get the first one square (I've only made a minor crop to it).

So I tried to make them sort of 'zoom down' to square. Obviously didn't quite work

Try switching the left and centre images around.
Crop the current centre image to square and will help balance the set.
