Near Malibu, people are taking a walk on the beach, this seagull is having a ride on the wind.

Very nice shot of a awesome moment, Pu !! #413265Stefan Nielsen March 22, 2006
Very nice picture - but unfortunately it seems that neither the bird nor the couple are very sharp. (Personally I would prefer focus to be on the bird).I know it's easier said than done, but if the bird had been pitch sharp, this would have been an exeptional picture IMO. #2559885

Great capture Pu. Jim #2560862Jill Odice March 22, 2006
Perfect timing PU. Lovely romantic image :-) #2561884Pu Chen March 22, 2006
Thank you very much for your comments, Al, Stefan, Judyann, Jim and Jill! Stefan, the focus was on the bird, but unfortunately this is one of my first attempts of the telephoto lens on a moving object, had a hard time locking on the moving object, and got worse when I tried to pay attention to the composition :( Certainly need a lot more practice on this. #2562711Nadya Johnson March 31, 2006
Quite dramatic, Pu! The bird could be a little sharper but I think the photo's very striking, even so. It's difficult with a moving object and especially so, with a telephoto lens! Still a pleasing result. #2595419Pu Chen April 01, 2006
