I am not the biggest fan of black and white, but I found that no matter how I adjusted this picture when it was in color, I just wasn't satisfied with it. This is one of those rare occasions that I actually chose to go B&W.

I have a 12x optical zoom (72mm equivalent to 420mm on a 35mm camera), and this picture is actually cropped a bit. In about a 35 min. period, I took close to 300 photos. A lot of that was trying to get shots of birds circling in the sky, or coming in for a landing and using burst, though.

Good job on the gull. You don't lose much going with B&W, since they are pretty much B&W to begin with. I think the B&W treatment in your shot makes him stand out more from the BG. I like the hawk/falcon shot too
Fish,
That's a really sharp bluebird I didn't noticed he was missing his rear end until Greaper pointed it out :lol

Just a Panasonic DMC-FZ10. Then I cropped and greyscaled it in Jasc.
