21 megapixels

A juvenile Western Gull flying in front of the Bay Bridge and helping me put a D800E I rented from Borrowlenses through its paces with my 300mm f/4 AF-S lens mounted. I deliberately aimed for doing a fairly tough full-frame shot, with the gull was flying quickly toward me and turning constantly as it flew into the wind, but the AF system still nailed focus on 3 out of 4 shots. This one is cropped moderately and adjusted to straighten the horizon, but even the crop is still a 21-megapixel image. The D800E is quite impressive camera, even if I don't have a kidney to spare in order to buy one!
