Just before I pressed the release button this seagull suddenly decided to turn to right by using the feather in the tail like a rudder.

260mm, f5, 1/1000, ISO 200, Nikon D3000, Tamron 70-300, Handheld.

Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
