Amazing capture Mark… I love that you can see each indiviual pinion in the birds feathers, and it is an unusual flight position which adds to its uniqueness.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull… One of my alltime favourite books…
Great capture, you do the book justice in every single inch of that picture!

Well done Mark.. I like this .. Not just the content but its a wonderful blend of softness DOF, sharpness and timing of the capture.

Thanks all :)

Gemlenz – Canon 20D, 1/2000, 3.5 , 50mm (Tamron 17-50mm), ISO200
Zeanana – One of my favourites also :)

still awsome

Great capture!

Wow, Mark, Great capture!
Thanks for the info’ on your camera. I’ve been wondering about which new lens to get, now I know! Does the Tamron17-50mm need connectors to fit onto your Canon?

Thanks, Stephen (and all above)

The Tammy 17-50mm is a very sharp lens – and very affordable. It is , however, EFS mount – so cropped-sensor cameras only (all the xxxD & xxD, but not 5D/1D)

Made for Canon and Nikon, and around $450 grey market. Very good value.

Superb.

Wow, this is unusual…and beautiful.

What a fabulous capture, Mark!

Gosh this is wonderful Mark. What majesty.

Fabulous capture.

Wow….............Stunning image Mark!

BRAVO BRAVO idigit

j’adore this shot mark, wonderfully captured against the river / lake / sea :]

Just found this one of yours, its breathtaking, what a shot

Ho yeah, I recognize him… ;)
Great shot, good patience, great light…
Great reflection…
Love it.

lots of gull shots out there, the backlight wings and the reflected clouds make this a cut above

this is a perfect picture,the perfect moment,the perfect light…

Wow

i love pictures of flying birds, and what a great image you have captured here
the wings on this bird are amaizing
very very well done

impeccable timing! How cool are those wings!

Stunning shot

Wow that is stunning – its like a painting.
The bird seems frozen in time and the delicate nature of the light seems to have given it a fragility that you wouldnt normally see.

New to RB, just found this one. I hope you threw Jonathon a morsel for this, Nat Geo might use it, just don’t accept less than the cover…er..at least a full page print.

Wow, this shot is astounding Mark,

I am absolutely flabbergasted by it, amazing capture.

I bet this brought a smile to your face when you looked through the day’s shoot!
Don’t know about you, but no matter how good you think/hope it’s going to be, you really don’t know until you develop it!
Great subject, light, angle, colour, a real money shot.

oooh..this is excellent…I wondered what happened to Jon, he is immortal isn’t he… the background is beautiful and all the space around the subject gives that suspension in space..

Amazing shot. Congratulations on a treasure of an image.

its all been said. love it.

Wow, excellent capture and ,...oh so sharp.

Very nice capture

Splendid flying shot.

Wow!

wow breath taking i love it

Great contrast between the flight of the bird and still water, you never really associate the two together. Does this say it all about Jonathon
