[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Someone through a piece of bread into the water... The Duck grabbed it and took off. The Gull was hot in pursuit until the duck dived under the water to escape...
This was taken at the Wollongong botanical gardens while trying out my "new" secondhand lens - so far so good - I am still uncomfortable with it and it doesn't have VR, but it's a clear capture!!!

Hi Mark

This is a crystal clear shot - I like the splash of the water droplets over the gull

They can be really vicious! you have captured this well

Cheers

Dear Mark, it's a very good photograph.From TL, I got the impression that Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8 lens is a very good choice.

Hello
I like it Very very much. This duck is very unlucky.

Great action shot love the movement and the dramatic colours are great.

Hi Mark,
This is a well captured photo. This is the one of best lenses to capture this kind of images. I use Sigma version,70-200 F:2.8.Anyway, greath shot and great colors...

WOW! that's an amazing capture seems pretty clear to me. I'd be happy with a second hand lens like that. Too bad you couldn't see more of the duck, but I guess that's the point ;) Thanks for sharing.

Shoot on!
Eric
