 Taken at LWaihora a wee way from home.

I was out trying my luck with bird photography, and saw these old ladies nattering on the fence... Seven of them.

Taken with a 90-300 F/4.5-5.6 USM lens. @ 90mm

Post editing was just crop, scale, curves, USM and save.

omg...more seagulls. I'm sorry you had to be like the 7th pic of seagulls in my line of pics. They kind of lose their originality after awhile. As for the pic...it is cute, fun and definately has 7 of the subject. The birds seem a little too bright in places, and the thing in the water in the background is a bit distracing. focus seems ok and I like how you framed the pic. just too many darn seagulls. lol ~Heather~

I am sure that it was difficult to capture all the seagulls exactly sharp and motionless. But the sharper focus would have received a higher score from me.
