There fly those who didn't survive the winter.
It's going to be spring soon.
Seagulls:



Didn't manage to meter and adjust in time, so the sky is totally blown.

Clone-stamp doves:


Doves are nice to photograph, because they're so used to people being around.


All shot with a Canon 60mm 2.8 USM. Supposed to be a macro lens, but it's reasonably fast and the USM helps with AF speed.

Click any for big.

And I would like some opinions on this shot, personally I like it because it was a reflex shot and I didn't expect it to come out this well..



It's really nice. Two ideas though: Give the subject space on the side it looks at. This also applies to most any living subject, or inanimate subjects with faces. Also, try and get the wings in a backward position, so they don't obscure the head and are fully spread. Congrats on having the dof spot on though, it's very narrow so that was a lucky shot. Increase dof by narrowing down aperture if the light permits it.
