It is a shame that the head is out of focus. It could have been a very nice shot.

Arthur,

I'm puzzled by OnePutt's comment; the head looks oversharpened to me. Have you been messing around in PS and not telling anyone? ;)

HI

Hi Garry,

Yes, I did apply USM in Nikon Capture. The camera's AF could not keep up with the speed of the Seaqull coming down. Yes, only a part of the Seaqull's body is in focus.

It was taken about 5pm under cloudy conditions - I could use faster shutter speed if it were brighter.

regards,

Arthur

What ISO did you use?

Nice photo. The blurred motion gives it a sense of movement so don't get caught up that it wasn't too in focus

Gary you could be right, what I took at first glance to be out of focus could well be oversharpening.

It was ISO 200. Yeap - the focus wasn't good. I'm looking forward to more practice sessions. :)

Arthur,

Would you like to also post an unsharpened version of this?

The motion in the wings is great, and while I suspect the image may be a tad OOF, I'm not yet convinced that being OOF would be to it's detriment.

Consider this one, for instance.

Hopelessly OOF, but to me, it works.

Arthur - I see a an interesting shot - the head appears to be sharp to me but what I really like is the 3D effect on the leading edge of the wings - I like
