 People come here all day long to feed the birds, maybe its because if you feed them the good bread they will sit in circular formation :D.

Great photo. The color one is very nice but the b/w is so much more dramatic.

Great shot. I normally don't like clear skies but here it makes those birds pop out of my monitor!

The capture of those birds in flight like that is just fantastic. Really makes the whole picture for me.

Perfect light and very, very good bread, apparently. They're practically dancing.

Now you're making me really miss living in the Bay Area. Is this around Lake Merritt? Great sharpness on the birds.

Edit: I somehow did not see the title when I asked about Lake Merritt. I can read, really!

How nice of those birds to create a circle for you! They stand out nicely from the background. Nice shot.
