I was stalking a pretty large flock of sea gulls that was just resting on this beach (County Line Beach) when I saw some kids walking towards them. So I waited until they got close enough to scare the birds and started firing away.

This kind of shot is so hard to capture and get everything in focus. Well done.

I like the shot and the PP. A sort of soft glow.

Thanks folks. Den, I liked the soft glow too and used it here because it seemed like an almost magical moment. I got lucky this time.
