Both decent shots but a bit burnt out in the highlights. One thing is it all depends on what type of monitor you view the shots. On my 19" 1440 x 900 caliberated monitor which is very high resolution the first shot looks like you used a high ISO or sharpening as I can see a lot of artifacts and a grainy effect. The second shot is much smoother.

I have never heard them referred to as silver gulls so i guess you learn something every day. You can't go wrong in WA and the NT both wonderful places. Have you been into Kakadu national park in NT :

Lilly i have never heard of them being called Silver Gulls before. I only know them as seagulls. If you are refering to the colour they are a brilliant white

Pete i did do a bit of touching up on the first one but nothing on the second. I do need to calibrate my monitor though just havent got around to it yet. I too have a 19" 1440x 900
