This juvenile Ring-billed Gull flew right in front of me and I took its picture without really seeing it. When the image appeared on the monitor, it was a pleasant surprise.

Is there a better feeling than finding a jewel such as this shot after a shoot 🙂 It seems that the great shots tend to be less so, and then there is always a surprise such as this one where serendipitous timing (and natural instinct on your part here) gets the shot you longed for all along 🙂 Beautiful.

Maybe you didn’t really see the gull, but your camera certainly did! Great image no matter how you got it.

This is impressive! Well captured 🙂 I did a birding tour and gosh, it’s not easy to take birds images, especially when they move – you did a great job!
