here we see Floyd the seagull demonstrating how he won the olympic gold medal for beak-standing on water, an insanely difficult category to win... or even do... ;-)) actually the bird is diving, he must have figured that he needed to sneak up on the large clam he came back up with...

If this seagull didn't win Gold for this then your Michael Phelps will help himself to a ninth Gold medal!! Wonderful action shot Mary, taken at exactly the right moment.

If YOU don't win the Gold for this one there is a problem! The timing, the focus, the clarity, everything is unbelievable, Mary!

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas

Pictures say a thousand words but the artist taking the picture can say more. Take care and god bless you and yours each and every day' What really brings a member to view your work I say the naming of your image I know it does me, the name makes me want to see that image'
