Nice capture. You have frozen the motion of the bird well and I like the fact that you can see its shadow on the decking.

Nice shot... one Question: did you focus before hand and then captured as the bird was in the right position or did you use autofocus? I wanted to know because I tried this once and even my Canon 60D focusses fast, it got in the way of the picture (didn't focus on the bird even with AI Servo)

I really like composition though. The way the bird and the poles have their shadow in parallel on the ground yet still keeping the bird and its shadow in the rule of thirds... The balance is imho perfect.

P.S. I did not think it was a breast
Thank you all for helping us improve

Thanks for the kind words!

All of my shots from that day were all done with manual focus :O. I was following the bird as it took off from the deck and just followed it, Kept the rule of thirds in mind when doing so and hoped that i would get a nice shot . But Honestly it was mostly luck, and with that said... GOOD LUCK!

Does anyone have something negative to say about this photo?

I would have maybe gotten the gull in the bottom right, to show where it is flying to.
This is normally the rule with wildlife. If you're capturing anything moving, try to get it on one side of the frame then leave some open space on the other to where it's moving.
It does look a little washed out to me as well.. maybe add a bit more contrast/blacks to make it go boom.
It is a nice image in the way you've frozen the bird.. but yeah other than those two things noted above, it's a good picture.
I also have a Canon 50D, by the way
