Are you talkin' to me? Seagull comes face-to-face with its own reflection as it skims across surface of water
By Daily Mail Reporter|
Images of birds in flight have always fascinated artists, but sometimes it is pure luck rather than careful composition that yields the most stunning works featuring nature's feathered creatures.
Earlier this year, a Norwegian photographer was at the right place and the right time to capture a series of breathtaking photos depicting a seagull studying its reflection in the water.
Geir Magne Sætre, 40, of Gursken, Norway, has been photographing birds mid-flight for some time now, but several months ago, he managed to snap three unique and inspiring images of a seagull.

In the second shot, the bird's feet are in the water, its wings raised high over its head with the yellow and red beak slightly ajar.
The final image shows the graceful feathered creature taking off, its feet barely touching the surface of the water like a ballerina on point and the wings poised to soar into the sky.

feet are in the water, its wings raised high with the yellow and red
beak slightly open
Graceful: A third image shows the bird in the
moment of takeoff, with its feet barely touching the surface of the
water like a ballerina on tiptoe
The 40-year-old Norwegian photographer specializes in wildlife and nature, with an emphasis on birds. In his day job, Sætre works for a company that designs and engineers boats.
