Good evening

This is a shot I took about a week ago while trying to work on my skills. Quite often I will go shoot seagulls to work on my in flight shots and these birds are always very cooperative. Took some popcorn, tossed it in a small tree and waited for them to pass over. I was really surprised to see them actually land of the tree top and steady themselves. I would have thought with web feet they would not have been able to perch, boy was I wrong! So, I got some could flight and perched shots, was a good couple of hours spent.

LOL, I use seagulls for practice too, plentiful, easily bribed, and big enough to follow easily in the viewfinder...

...only mine come out blurred! Good colours and sharpness here Greg.

Very good detail and I like the pose.

Well done and TFS

Good detail shown in this action pic. I also like the POV and composition. Well Done. TFS,

Hello Greg!
Excellent capture.Details,POV,sharpness,
framing and composition are wonderful.
TFS...:-)

Very nice inflight shot Greg. You have excellent DOF, exposure and sharpness. The two birds together in one frame make it a much more dynamic capture IMO. Very well done.
