Wasn't sure what this was until I read extra info

The seagull started the flight from the top of the pole. I left the pole in the picture to show, that there is something sharp too in the picture.

The slow speed has certainly captured the movement of the gull's wings, which is ethereally beautiful. The pole is distracting, though I assume you left it in the photo to add context. There is also quite a bit of graininess in the photo.

Great idea for the picture, and the blur on the wings is great.
My preference would be for a more blurred background - to isolate the bird more against the trees. But you're shooting at 600mm so i imagine that a f2 setting is unlikely to be available?!
Quite a grainy feel to the picture - could you have been more aggressive with noise in pp?

A flying pillowcase?

I have commented on others what I will say here. I feel this is an image which is lessened by employing the techniques of the Challenge. I would love to see this bird sharp and frozen mid flight, perhaps with a panned blurred background....the foreground orange object also distracts.

Yes, I see the noise now. I made the post processing with my laptop and did not see that noise then.

I like the concept but the image is really noisy, were you far away and this is tightly cropped?
