I thought a bit about posting a flying bird, but I thought with a live animal, the wind, the movement....it all might contribute to noise? But I'm still not sure. This shot is certainly serene!

Nice Depth of Field.

Doing this in B&W was a good choice. Looks like the background was already grey, and for some reason, making the seagull monochromatic to match has the effect of adding some uniqueness to a fairly common subject. It is a good result.

it's like taking a breath from flaping her wings....moment of silence....very nice!

Excellent shot, but would have been better if the bird was turned around more.
