Default Out the way geese

Photographers Comments
Got this shot purely by accident. Taking a picture of the geese, pressed the button just as the seagull swooped by. luckily he ended up right in the gap.

You may have got this shot by luck, but you did press the shutter button at the right time. framing could not be much better and exposure looks ok. Well done.

I suspect the best wildlife photographers take credit for lucky breaks! This is a great shot, an element of real interest in what would have otherwise been a good shot but static without the swooping gull. Well done

Thanks everyone for your comments.

This was my first ever posting anywhere of an image so your feedback is very much appreciated.

ATB Dennis.
