Aeronautical Maneuver
5th Place

San Francisco Bay Area

This gentle creature was hovering above the water when a sudden gust of wind blew it off balance. It was amazing to see how it recovered by thinning its wings to prevent from being blown off too much within a split second. This was a $1300 capture, since after taking this picture, I slipped and dropped the Canon 100-400mm lens. Had to buy a new lens a week later. :-(

Lovely shot Michael. One suggestion if you don't mind would be to move your signature to another corner away from the subject.
Teapot.

Great shot. So sorry about the lens. Isn't it insured? ~ Lonnit

Michael,
What a fabulous capture. I've never seen anything like it. So graceful and beautiful even while trying to recover from the wind gust. Hope you insure your camera and lenses. Sorry to hear about your accident. Roberta
