Was wandering around doing my typical thing on a warm day last week, and I came across some birds on some small docks in downtown Tampa. This was the result:

and one accident that came out interestingly:

Thanks for looking

I like the last one's perspective a lot for some reason. Very unique.

Straightening...lol. Every time I straighten the horizon, I hang the picture crooked.

Thanks. Yeah, it's funny, I was sitting on the end of the dock and they just flew and landed behind me, so I grabbed the camera and just set the 70-200 straight down on the tripod collar and attempted to aim. Clearly I missed with that shot, but I think the result was nice. The other gull pictures are from the same day when I had flipped around and laid on my stomach, again with the 70-200

I think it gives the perspective of being a bird walking behind the other two. Very nice accidental capture. Sometimes the accidents are the best ones :)
