great shot, just wish the focus has been on the bird rather than the hand.

You're right Kiwi, but it all happened in an instant, I saw a seagull swooping down and I started to shoot without having time to take good focus and framing.

I think think this is a superb example of what this contest is about! Friiskiwi may be right but this is still awesome.

On another note I've been on this site for almost a year now and it wasn't until your comment Author that I realized what Friiskiwi's screen name meant! Wow do I feel dumb

I still don't get the name but I see Kiwi now. LOL

Her last name is Friis and she's from New Zealand. And in case you don't know New Zealanders are nicknamed Kiwis.

Kiwis like the fruit?

If you want to know the difference between a kiwis and an aussie just ask them to say the number six.... Haha now i'm gonna get kill

Love all the chat about my screen name, and I still think it's an awesome photo.
I won't kill you Mikael, after all it's the Aussies who have the funny accent.For those who are wondering, the Aussies pronounce six like sex.

Fantastic photo!!
