Hi Peter, a nice action shot! Shows great movement yet a perfectly focused head.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa

Thank you so much for your very kind comment here!
Really, I must give credit to the autofocus here. It was hard enough to follow them in flight, without thinking of focus as well..

Hello Peter, I agree with others, a really good action shot yet the bird is in clear focus~ good job Peter, Hope all is well with you..... best wishes, Sarah

Hi Sarah

Thank you so much for your very thoughtful comment.
Steve knows this lake well, and has had great pictures from here. There are always so many birds to go at... So sooner or later a good picture will result!

Oh WOW! Peter, your timing is just wonderful here! I love the blurry wings contrasting with the perfect focus on the gull's face. OUTSTANDING! :)

I also wanted to say thank you for your wonderful comments on my pictures. You have really made my day with your thoughtful remarks. It means so much to me, and I really love that you enjoy my photography so much. I have been having such a nice time getting to know you through your photography too! :)

Hi Janet

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, and praise of this picture. It is really appreciated.
Let's be honest here, the auto focus did the work! It was hard enough following them with the big lens, they move so quick. And with so many birds to go at, we've a fair chance of getting at least one!

Hi Peter !
That's really a greatly impressive shot !
And a masterly one, too.
It's so difficult to get neatly birds flying !
Moreover, in his / her piercing eyes are telling us about his / her success!
:-)
Best wishes.

Hi Bea,

Thank you so much for your very kind comment. You are right, they are difficult to follow and photograph, so we can take a lot of pictures, and only keep the good ones!!
I am so pleased that you enjoyed it.

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you for the wonderful memory of Texel, and its many seabirds!
I remember the beach there so well....
I am sure the bird found something tasty to eat!

... a perfect capture ... the contrast between the sharp focus and wings-in-motion gets it a Gold-Star Favorite ...
