Grab and Go

Robert H. Long Park - Commerce Township, Michigan

I was practicing following the gulls in flight when this one dove down and grabbed at the water.
With the 1.4x teleconverter this was at 1120mm, which makes the auto focus very sluggish and quite a challenge.

More images taken with this lens can be seen here.
