And stay there...(Please view larger).

Excellent!  The disturbed water, the wing positions, the open beak and the intense stare take me to the center of the action... Mike

Thanks for looking. There is something very expressive and funny, at the same time, about the black nosed seagulls..I am glad you like the picture.

 

Regards.

Having jumped in the water the coot swam away for a while followed by the

screeching, aggressive seagull. (click the right arrow to see the previous

picture). Fed up with his screams the coot dived and this is the moment my

camera caught that you see above..:-).

Thank for looking and commenting.

Dimitris, another fabulous capture just interesting how you makes the eye  & beak so sharp and clear , great point of the view for bird's shot in my opinion. the  light, contrast, composition are wonderful also. love it!    Congr.

Magnífica captura, una serie estupenda.

 

Thank you very much my friend. I sharpened it a little using the high pass mask and although the photo is cropped significantly the light helped a lot...you also have to be lucky:-).

Thanks again my friend. Thanks a lot!

A very nice shot with beautiful lighting and details, Dimitris!

 

Beautiful capture of a peak moment. Jim

Ruud and Jim thanks for dropping in and Jim...I like the word ''peak'' -:).
