Wonderful photo! Love the composition and the foggy background. V

Very good arrangement. Having the tractor off to the left provides plenty of room for the birds across the right two thirds of the frame, and there's a sense of movement not only in the birds but in the way the driver seems to be turning around to look at them.

Love the misty feeling in this one. V

The compression with the telephoto works really well here. Like it!

Fresh turned soil, makes one think of spring! Great shot with the gulls in tow. V

Great photo with this focal length and all the gulls in the air. Nice also with the farmer turned around. "V"

Great find, the gulls appear from nowhere once the plough starts.Well composed rule of thirds as well Mairead.

Great action capture, Mairéad. A really great scene.

Beautiful and that is different with the gulls. V
LynnH06-Mar-2013 02:17
I'm glad you got this, especially from behind. Great movement and excitement. Our area has Cattle Egrets that follow the plow.

Lovely shot in the mist! v

Those seagulls know where to find all the tasty fresh grubs
Terry Sprague05-Mar-2013 22:31
Super image. I'm not familiar with gulls chasing a tractor, in my neck of the woods they chase lobster boats! V
Don Mottershead05-Mar-2013 22:25
Hard to imagine a better capture of this activity. Excellent image. ~V~
Karen Stuebing05-Mar-2013 22:11
Lovely bucolic scene. Love the textures of the plowed earth with the tractor and gulls. The fog gives a nice low contrast look to the background. V.
Helen Betts05-Mar-2013 22:02
I like your composition, and definitely some great action with the gulls. V.
Frank Brault05-Mar-2013 22:01
A marvelous composition and scene! V
SRW05-Mar-2013 21:53
Brilliant composition: with all that action, and then the fading layers, behind....
Peter Sussex05-Mar-2013 21:39
Yes, they really seem happy with ploughing. Intriguing capture. V
tinkerb05-Mar-2013 21:26
I have always thought there is an excellent picture to be had with gull following a tractor, I have never managed it, but you have proved it -great shot.
John Reynolds LRPS05-Mar-2013 21:25
Good seasonal image. V.
