Thanks Rania.


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
Thanks Terry for the compliment. There must have been a hundred seagulls swarming me. The bread went fast!


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
Thanks Leonardo for the compliment!


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
Jeanette, thanks for taking the time to critque my photo. I'll stop by and take a look at your portfolio very soon.


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
Thanks Mike. Let's face it, this was pure luck. Many of the seagull photos I took were nice, but this one gull had it in for the fella with a lump of bread in his throat and decided to take action. Great timing, but nevertheless, pure luck.


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
Thanks Rick. Let's give some credit to the bird with the attitude:)


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
Thanks sascha for the compliment! The BIP was a nice surprise for sure:)


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
Thank you Partha. It was a fun photo shoot. There's nothing quite like a hundred birds swarming around to bring out the photographer in me:)


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
Thanks Shirley! The patch of blue sky certainly helped, and just the day before this we experienced a 15 hour storm with wind gusts up to 80mph.


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
Call it luck, or maybe they just didn't want to crap on the hand that was feeding them. Pretty risky though. Of all the things we go through to get a good shot, eh!


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
Thanks fokstrot for the compliment!


Shirley D. Cross   {K:151531} 11/18/2006
You're welcome, Toni!:)

Amna Al Shamsi   {K:21796} 11/18/2006

Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
You ever see the Hitchcock movie the Birds? There were so many of them surrounding me I should have been shaking in my boots. It was fun and I was able to hold the camera still. Thanks jacques.


Toni Petersen   {K:2401} 11/18/2006
If this is love seagull style, then I don't want to be a seagull (haha). Thanks Amna.


John Hatz   {K:156912} 12/22/2006
