 Out with my son who wanted to take some photos of cygnets nearby. A couple were feeding 'mum and dad' and some gulls were flapping around trying, successfully, to pinch the bread.

Cropped, autosmartfix, usm, resized for dpc.

Wow, didn't expect to do so well. I wasn't going to enter this particular photo but hubby persuaded me, quite glad he did now :-)

Thanks for all your comments and here's to the next one.

Excellent I love it, if not for the incomplete wing at the top I would give it a 9.

Talk about timing! That right foot is just touching down. Burst mode, or lucky? Wait, I know...superb shutter release control! ;^)
