Just got this shot after try for about two hours to snap a seagull in flight.

Maybe the composition is not the best, but It is really hard to capture a bird in flight, and more challenging when the lense you are using has no autofocus nor image stabilization, he he.

I had to look for a minute to figure it out, but that is pretty amazing...you don't often get a bird in flight coming towards you.

Nice pic Rafael, it certainly is hard to catch a bird in flight but you managed to catch it in focus. Nice colours too.

Cheers,

Gerard

I'll add to the chorus that it's difficult to photograph a flying bird. I had to look for him at first. Nicely done.
