    Funny shot, Jurgen. Sort of like a split personality. You could use this in a greeting card with a joke or something like that

    Great image. The clarity, exposure and colours are perfect. The composition is amazing. Nice capture!
    How far away from the gulls were you?

    The Great Gull is smiling upon you I am certain. The Nature forum would love to see this one too.

    Good capture and composition!!

    I was going to title this image "Spot the Female" but I didn't think it was politically correct!!

    Nice composition and of course the bird action makes the shot. Only suggestion I can make is I would have cropped as much side distance as possible as the shot is vertical and the scene follows behind the subject, the birds. Otherwise, pretty good.

    No, I know they don't. They are £1,449.99 over here but hubby is doing his best to save to buy me one. I told him the f4.0 would be a good alternative but he has dug his heels in now and won't budge LOL.

    I can see a very expensive Christmas prezzy coming up this year Alison...Realistically the 2.8L is a heavy beast..The f4.0L would suit your 350D better as it is lighter...I have used the 2.8L on my 350D and found it didn't balance too well even with the battery grip...The f4.0 is still a brilliant lens though..
    I am in a fortunate situation where my employer expects top results and supplies us with top shelf gear..

    20D with battery grip...Much bigger camera,,nicer balance with the 70-200 f2.8L..
