Continuing in my quest to get more photos of birds, I have managed to capture this one as it is taking off.

Perhaps it could be falling.

Well, it could be seen that way if I did not know that it was taking off.

Anyway, I think that here we see great form from the silver gull with its wings stretching out as it puts itself into a position to fly away.

I do think that this photo expresses motion and form better than many other photos I’ve taken.

I hope you enjoy.
