This fellow and his mates were buzzing around the duck pond putting on a display of aerial acrobatics. That and competing with the ducks for any food being thrown their way. Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

You've certainly caught him in the act here, Wendell. He stands out perfectly against the water. I do find the people in the background slightly distracting, though.

Wendell - You stopped him in mid-air - hopefully he didn't crash! They glide quite quickly, so to stop it so clearly was excellent work. Thad

You brought so much delicacy in this photo Wendell that touched my heart in a special way, I am absolutely delighted! This is a great photo! But I would take the people out with photoshop or another program, just continuing the grass, path and trees, because this Seagull deserves the stardom in this so beautifull photo!

Have a sweet week!

Ok, ok... You win Wendell... I believe I got the point on your photo, the persons bring more colors and become another object to the balance of the photo, but... Could not be a bush of hibiscus for exemplo? lol Only kiding. I got. Even so I keep deep enchanted to the Seagul. Thank you again.

Super action shot, Wendell! I'm especially enjoying the lighting on the Gull, and the trail of bokeh he left behind!
