Shot of the Week


We had some bread with us when going to the park a few days ago and this lonely sea gull was the only bird around at this time. It kept coming back for more bread, always diving down from the same angle, same spot for the bread. That gave me plenty of chance to get my settings right. I got quite a few good shots, but this is by far the best. The original version was cropped a little bit too tight on the left side. After the suggestion of a fellow photographer from my meet-up group I expanded the canvas a little bit. So now I know how to do that as well:)
