Dry Wings
by Alan Estep (ClickinAL) 
Camera:
Canon EOS 40-D
Location:
Seattle, Washington
 
United States of America

Photographer Notes:
Along the shoreline of Puget Sound this gull kept diving for something to eat about 12 times in a row. He would pull back out of the water just before his wings fully submerged each time he did this manuver. It was very entertaining to watch as he did this quite often for some time farther away down the shoreline.

Very cool shot Alan! I love the water splashing about the wings - it's so clear and crisp. A very surreal shot as well.....great capture!

A striking shot at the right moment, Alan. It is very clear and sharp. B&W emphasizes more the action. Congratulations on your well deserved POTD!
