Kim - Unusual photo! I had to look twice - neat how the markings on the beak and even some of the feather patterns mimic the rippling pattern in the background.  Cheers, John

Nice one Kim. Nice lighting, reflections, and bird in mid-step.

Since the seagulls are literally at my doorstep I try with the D5 and 70-200mm 2.8 fl. They barely miss at all. Busy background, clean skies, does not matter. Last one is close to a 100% crop to show the detail.

I was taking some images of the birds by the sea. Trying to see how the Z6 will work with the 58mm 1.4g between fully open and f2. Turned out pretty well.
  There are some people living in the beach, under the protection of the building. One of them came to see what I was doing -here in the picture- making the birds fly away. It took some time for them to get close to me again. I had the aid of another woman living there that comes to feed with bread the seagulls. That helped.
