    If I weren't so gullible, I'd say that you have a way with gulls. I keep trying. I talk to them, ask them nicely to sit up straight, hint that I'll give them a piece of fish if they behave...but nothing works. They just go poop and fly away!

    These are really good profiles. Similar but different. I keep trying to pick a favorite but the truth is thaI like each one.

    What does a gull say? I know it's not "Quack, quack!" Cute photos!

    Each has a distinct personality. They all seem to have a sense of humor. Good shots, VP.

    Hmmm. One gull is posing nicely but the other two are playing hard to get. Although I live inland, seagulls live here too especially close to fast food places that serve French fries. ;-)

    Greetings from Australia.
    I like these photos - the birds certainly look regal.
    Cheers.

    Maybe a GULL PORTRAIT SERIES is in the making? Great shots. How did you do that?

    Nice captures! I wonder if your gulls are the same as ours or different. Pretty!

    What great shots. I love them all but particularly the first with that beautiful rusty colour base the bird is standing on. Can't work out what that is. A tree? If so, what a colour?

    Very nice series of portraits. Gulls are like pigeons though. But noisier.

    These birds are skinnier compares to Montreal gulls. They're all fat and fluffy.

    Altho those birds leave a dirty mess behind them, they are lovely looking creatures. They pose very well for you! PS. Still not back permanently. Stay happy while I'm on sabbatical.

    Did you hypnotize those - how did you make the pose so nicely?

    @ Jacob - I've been pooped a couple of times, but never inside the harbor. Some kind of truce?
    @ Jilly - It is the bulbous bow of a ship.
    @ richard - Incredible! Did you shoot it?

    The gulls are great. I especially like the water and the old metal in the first one.
