    Default Gull with catch

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    40D. 400 f5.6L at f/6.3. iso 400. 1/2000s. manual metering.

    I am not sure what this ring-billed bull caught. I am guessing a crawfish...but it probably also picked some vegetation along with it. I saw it dive after which I pointed my lens towards it. Very busy BG for 40D AF but it worked well here.

    All C&C welcome.

    Kaus, good wing position of the near wing, and the BG looks fine to me. His catch an added bonus.

    I like the bg not only for the included habitat but also for the rich blue and gold colors.

    Very good job with the 40D on this image. Light, colors, sharpness and action are all great. Did you blur the background a bit? JR

    No. The distance between bird and BG was just right.

    Kaustubh I like the way you have captured the gull with environment, adds a lot to the image. Great light and exposure on the Gull, especially the detail in the near wing. Love the eye on this species.
