    Default Black Headed Gull fly off ....

    Hi folks ...
    a tricky image interns of composition , as I do not have enough space on LHS . On the other hand I do not want the water drops , created by the gull , to disappear . So I decided that the gull can just fly against the " LHS wall " instead of losing the droplets .
    So I can fully understand if some folks might have reservations regarding the comp ..

    Canon EOS R3
    EF 500 IS L II + 2x TC
    HH

    F 10 ; Iso 1600 ; 1/2500 sec ; man exp

    Processed with DPP 4 and PSCC 2022 ; image leveled and added canvas slightly all around the frame .

    Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posting

    Cheers Andreas

    Nice and sharp, and the trailing splash adds interest. Exposure and detail are great. I'd love more space to the left, but I understand that you wanted to keep the entire splash. I also appreciate the low angle view!

    Indeed they are Andreas, and easy to say, but planning so the FP and framing was more to the right may of helped? Manually focusing and pre framing, them just a dab to switch to ED should work and with ED locked on, adjusting the comp is a breeze. Not sure how you have your camera set up, but switching AF once AF has acquired the subject is great and with the clean BKG there shouldn't be an issue, a bit like bird against a sky, it can't fail.

    Nice detail and I see why f/10, but the blue for me is a little strong.

    So I decided that the gull can just fly against the " LHS wall " instead of losing the droplets .
    I think the 'wall' concept needs to go and move on, otherwise truck loads of images wouldn't even be considered overall.

    Thanks Dorian and Steve for your kind comments , much appreciated .

    @ Steve ... fully understand your thoughts about AF and " planning " the shot , but this was just one of this " grab shots" where you see something happening and just fire a couple of frames . So options are limited in this regard .

    The blues , well i like them strong as presented , but could be reduced without overall loss of IQ .

    The wall is not a " concept " just my kinda wording i like to use in the context ,when a subject is too close to the image border .... but wish there would be more space for the subject to look/ fly into .

    Cheers Andreas
