Hmm, something is not right here. The seagulls don't seem very well organised for the match, with most of them facing the wrong direction. If they're not careful they could receive a nasty concussion. Regards, -Najinsky

Thanks for your kind comments Nico. The 17-85 does have a very useful range, although its limitations are well known - major corner softness at 17 mm being the worst. It's my most used lens though. Regards, Michael

That 17-85mm lens is just such a versatile walk-around lens! I like the composition and the strong bw conversion. Nice leading lines too. Including the bird in the pic was a super touch. And yes, you certainly did point out as aspect of life in your corner of the world. Thanks for sharing. Regards Nico
