Thought I'd Share this travel shot from paris combinded with bird photography. I really didn't have a suitable lens on when this occured, so it is a substantial crop. (22mp gives lots of crop room !).

I like the juxtoposition between the fighting birds and the expression on the Statue.
I've tried a couple of different Crops, not sure which is the best though !.

Canon 1ds III with Canon 50mm 1.4
ISO 200, 1/320s @ f/8.0, Av, noFlash, +0ev

92037

All suggestions welcome.

Regards

Good capture, Mark, of the gulls sqabbling. You might consider brightening them up a touch. I think the crop is a good one as it stands.

I couldn't help myself from thinking of a caption for this one: "Oh no, they're going to need to clean me AGAIN!"

I agree Mark it is a good juxtaposition.

I would try a levels correction to this image to bring up the highlights some and then the mid-tone slider to brighten the image. I tried it and liked the results.

Hi Mark, good suggestions regarding brightening the image. I like how the image is framed with a story for ones own interpretation...

Hey Mark,
Can't really add to the above suggestions. Lightening this will go a long way in improving it. I do think a crop around the navel will also work.
