This is better! Thanks, everybody, for your nice comments and suggestions (this is ISO 500). It's important to me to get the eye sharp, but I like the movement too. And I like the head-on angle -- it's funny. I am always amazed how these huge birds find a place to land where there was absolutely no space left!
From the silver water in the bay to water in the city

A (wo)man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his/her life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful. (free to J.W. von Goethe)
