Nice spot, and like the blurred background, doesn't really say play to me though.

This is a great spot. I too like the blurred b/g and they appear to be fighting over their food rather than playing...

I think they were playing the ancient game of " Beak a Sausage"

In that case its a rare capture of birds playing the time honoured game which has been passed down through the gulls genes.

Remarkable

Seriousely though its great capture and very good photograph in its own right, regardless of the theme

thanks Bodoman, much appreciated!

Great shot & they are playing tug of war sausage of course

I think is this a very good shot, but like others feel it is not really on theme. Now if the theme hade been "battle" or something similar

May not say "play" as much as some of the others but great photo all the same.
