Title: Repulsion
Taken - 20040318
Camera - Sony DSC-F828 (8Mp 'prosumer')
Lens - Zeiss 28-200 (eq) zoom at 50
Exposure time: 1/60
F-stop: 2.8
ISO: 64
Resized, lightly sharpened and minor b&w point adjustment.

Comments:
(Gull?) feathers floating beneath a metal-grill-dive-platform at the rear of a fishing boat in a marina...
(Wasn't it obvious?)
Archive shot, so be extra harsh!

Self critique:
I was quite surprised to get this shot home and see it was pin-sharp (no IS..) - there are tiny bits of the feathers that are blurry, but they are that way because of the gentle breeze that was quickly blowing them out of shot..! I didn't even have time to take my polariser off as I bent down at a very awkward angle to grab it before the feathers vanished into darkness. I apologise for reposting it (others may have seen this before), but as soon as I saw "Repulsion", I suddenly realised what it was a picture of!
