How the hell did you catch these with a super wide angle AND SO FRIGGING CLOSE? Even at 20mm, that's really damn awesome.

Nice work!

No kidding. Is the photographer also a bird?

Nice work, Rense.
Lovely images that reminded me of Hitchcock's "The Birds".

Was this off the back of a fishing boat, or off a fishing Pier? Those birds will let you get really close, they have no fear. They'd pluck a sandwich out of your fingers. Excellent shots, such amazing perspective.

Spectacular pics. Hitchcock would like them, too.

Wouw! Really very cool! I know how those birds can get real close when their bellies are empty enough though.

A+

Rense those are absolutely just too cool. Fantastic.

Thanks a lot! Well: at the deck of the ferry, and a school class feeding the birds with old bread...

Nope, not that I know. But I will have it checked...

You got it right Rense with the Hitchcock look to the shots.--charliezap

**LaurenOE** · 05-06-2012, 05:14 PM

Beautiful. I can't figure out why I like them so much. Very nice!

lesmore49 · 05-06-2012, 07:16 PM

Phenomenal.

**Bruce Clark** · 05-06-2012, 07:19 PM

Real good action here. #2 with the wings at their forward stroke is rarely seen. I like them all.

**Cee Cee** · 05-06-2012, 08:29 PM

sensational shots, wow! I think I would have been ducking for cover at that range.

cheers
