A seagull mid-flight front-and-center, with a motion-blurred background of trees and plants of all colors
This was a really tricky photo to get! It's why I have it up here, even though the seagull itself is a little blurry.
I'd been standing around a pond in Uni Parks for a while, trying to see if I could catch a photo of some of the birds flying in and out (there were probably about 50 ducks, seagulls, and swans sitting there). After a few failed attemtps, I managed to get this one – which admittedly could be better, but needing to balance enough light for the sensor & minimizing the blur was super challenging. I'm pretty happy with this one.
Barely visible in the background in the bottom-left corner is the path on the other side of the pond.
