Gulls in flight - again!

I am still after what I consider to be a very good shot of a gull in flight against a nice blue sky. The sky has let me down here, but I am quite pleased with these three taken with my 18-200VR on the D300.

1)

2)

3)

I think this is about the best so far

4)

Of the three I like the 3rd one the most. It seems to have more impact.

I do agree with you, I wasn't going to post it as the bird is facing the wrong way.

Very intense look it has... and does it have eyeliner on? It looks like a new romantic!

#4 has the potential to be a great backdrop. Is it somewhere you can visit often?

The photo was taken on the Isle of Capri and sorry to say it is not a place I intend to revisit.
