Amazing capture of this dove (or maybe it's a seagull) and you're right Jan - it's tack sharp with very good contrast. I really like this, especially the detail in the eye, beak and feathers.

It certainly is in focus with no blur. A fine flight shot here, You know I likes darker B/Ws so this is good for me and the photo is top drawer. These birds are bad news though....when me and the kids go over to feed the ducks all these guys steal the bread from them......Sorta splash and grab! Great pic pal!

Without doubt an excellent shot. So tricky to catch a moving target this well, so very well done.

Simple and uncluttered. Great focus on the gull. As well the lighting has added very nicely to this finely exposed image. Good work Jan.

Nice texture in the water and a wonderful white bird. I thought of dove too, but could be a gull. Great shot, Jan.

Cool shot Jan, I like the black and white here and the soft look you've given it. I hope your camera kit escaped 'unsoiled'.

great composition, perfect for b&W. the first word i thought of while watching the photo was "soft", like its feathers.
thank you for sharing
