[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot is made on a coast of the same estuary where I few times walked with my family and one day photographed the Frog-photographer (The Frog: 4 in 1). At this estuary some kinds of seagulls and herons live. However the quantity of seagulls is insignificant. Usually near the coast it is possible to see one or two seagulls. As a rule they promenade on the shoal or float near the coast. Pictures of such scenes I have a lot.

But once the whole flight of seagulls has flown up to the coast, where I have settled down with family, and directly over our heads began to do swift landing approaches and instantly not touching with water to fly up in the sky. I managed to capture one of such moments.

At viewing this photo on a computer I have had certain associations which have laid down in a basis of heading of this picture.

Hello Alexei,
This is an other beautiful in-flight shot. I really like this original POV you had and the bird’s pose that you caught! This contrasted lightning brings out very nice details on the bird. I really appreciate those great colors. I tried recently to catch them in-flight and it is not that easy… Well done!

Hi Alexei,
Excellent in-flight shot. I like the way you freeze this seagull in midair. Perfect pov, dof, exposure, and sharpness. Splendid picture.

Alexei,
You have become quite good capturing birds in flight.
Excellent details, again, in this great composition.
Very well presented.
Best regards,
Mario.
