The art of flying

Which is what I saw in this gull. The skill of flying still eludes me :-) maybe tomorrow will be my luck day
Have always liked slow-shutter/flash combination to capture these gulls but have always had too much clutter in the background. This one seemed to work a bit better so sharing it here.
Nice job! Has a little bit of Beachradish about it :)

Oh, this is fabulous, fav for me. I have only just touched the surface of what flash can do when combined with slow shutter speed. I love this result.

Hey, this is cool. You are quite talented and I've enjoyed looking through your photos. My get pushed challenge for you this week is to take a sequence of shots through the week (1 a day) of the same subject (doesn't matter what) and do something different with it each day. I did one of these back on 7th - 13th Jan this year and it was fun to do. Hope you have some fun with it.
