Default The flying Gull

This shot was taken during a trip on the ferry going over to Ocracoke island. It was taken with an Olympus E-300, and the 40-150mm lens. It was flying just outside the window in a howling wind, just hanging there. I really don't remember the camera settings, most likely auto settings during this time in my life. This photo is just like it came of the camera other than the size. Let me know what you guys think.

It is not easy to capture a bird in flight with good focus and nice lighting.

Job well done. Congratulations!
