I shot this image on a beach in Destin, Fl. My best friend and I where feeding the birds some crackers. They seemed almost suspended in flight against the wind, close enough to reach out and touch. It was pretty cool. I used a 28-135mm lens @ 85mm. The ISO was 100 and exposure 1/500sec @ f5.6 on a cloudy day. The image was sharpened, cropped, added contrast and a frame in PS.

Great capture here! Good detail, composition, and clarity. Excellent job of framing the subjects. Your right they did almost seem like they were floating on marinette strings. It was a very god day to remember! #723071Charlotte English August 23, 2004
