That looks to be an improvement on the first one...bird is a bit larger and appears sharper. Karlo

As nobody else has commented i'll make a contribution although BIF are not really my speciality...not the feathered variety anyway. Initial impression is that the seagull is nicely caught in the centre of the image and is reasonably sharp and motion reasonably frozen. Biggest weakness I could identify is that the bird is too small in the overall frame...almost looks as though you just happen ...

Very nice Derek.

Nice rich colours as Giulio mentions. Looks like it would be a cooler, shady retreat from the sun. Thanks for posting. regards Karlo

NIce image and very good accompanying history/geography lesson Nezih! Being a lecturer, are you one of those who has suddenly found you've a bit more free time on your hands than you were anticipating? Best wishes for a successful outcome over there. Would be interested in seeing some shots of Karagol. Regards Karlo

Certainly a striking image however you view it.

NIce technique and very effective. regards Karlo

Made me smile...well done on POTW. Karlo

What a striking image...absolutely brilliant...well done. Karlo

Nice one Al...hope to be back down there in early-mid July. regards Karlo
