Took this image in the fall of 2003 at Jones Beach. I was in the middle of shooting some black belied plovers when this guy decided he wanted to be in the shot. So I took his/her picture.

EOS3, 500MMf/4IS, TC2x, 25mm of extension, 550EX w/BBat -1, Kodak E100GX, don't remember the exposure.

Let me know what you think.

Christoph

I think more DOF and less USM. :D Nice and close though.

Gulls can be so cooperative at times. Nice portrait. Nits mentioned.

I too wish the bill tip was sharp. Nice detail and image.

Shallow DOF is hurting this one but these tight closeups are difficult to get everything sharp.

I love the look in his (?) eye but wish the bill was in focus.
