40D. 400f5.6L at f/7.1. iso 400. 1/2000s. Late afternoon light.

All C&C welcome and appreciated.

Did you train them to do that?
Interesting perspective. Good job.

[Geoff Warnock]

excellent image! I was trying to get a similar perspective with sparrows just recently, but they had other ideas. Shame about the grey bar in the background, I imagine this is part of the structure they were sitting on?

[Alan Murphy]

Love this shot. The eye contact makes it very effective with all the other gulls.

[Indranil Sircar]

Beautiful composition, Kaustubh. I like the eye contact and the light. Nicely exposed.

[Marina Scarr]

This capture realliy works. Love the way they are all lined up, and the light is gorgeous.

[Bill Dix]

I like it, Kaustubh. As you know, I'm partial to gulls. This reminds me of the effect you get looking into a mirror with another mirror behind you.

[Pieter de Waal]

Very creative and well captured. Good exposure on the whites. Nice image Kaustubh.

[Randy Stout]

Kaustubh:

This one works for me. I knew from the thumbnail that I would like it!
Nicely exposed, sharp on front, love the symmetry of the first four bills.

Well seen and captured.

Cheers

Kaustubh, I really like this image. You got all your gulls in a row! Beautiful exposure too.
Super creativity and execution. Congrats.

[Arthur Morris]

Congrats on a well executed concept. I wish that we could see the eye of the second bird. (Could you have gotten a bit higher???)

Where?

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Very creative and a great eye for an unusual though interesting composition. Light is great as well.

Where?

Thx Artie. Going higher was not possible. I was actually fortunate to get this angle. They were on the rail of a pedestrian bridge in a park( here in Irving, TX where I live).

Geoff, you guessed right. Its a part of the same bridge they were perched on. I had to wait for the gulls that were sitting on that part to fly away :-) They were really messing up the shot.

[Arthur Morris]

Thanks KD. I figured that getting higher would have been pretty difficult at best. Here's a trick that can get you a few extra inches at least: pull the legs of the tripod together a bit. It works well when you have lots of shutter speed and are not too worried about stability.

[Danny J Brown]

A funny shot KD and well done for getting in position and visualizing the possibilities. I think that ring-bills have the most photogenic eye. Thanks.

[Sid Garige]

Brilliant image KD. Very well composed.

[Bhushan Dalvi]

Kaustubh, awesome comp. Love the perspective.

[Humberto Ramos]

What an amazing photo, it has everything...

All C&C welcome and appreciated.

I am impressed that you were able to find a shot like this in Irving, my old home. Great vision on your part.

[Mital Patel]

too good of a visionary execution

[James Salywoda]

Awesome Shot! Well seen and captured very unique....:)

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Thx everyone. I will post one that I took from a different shooting position later today.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Loved the frame bhai..
