    Hi All,

    This is my first post as a new member, and it is an image taken in june 2005 in Gaspe, Quebec Canada. I actually found the roll of film in my freezer a few weeks ago and just had it processed! I was quite pleased to find what I thought was a successful image. The negative space at the top was made purposely with thoughts of a magazine cover in mind.

    Any comment or critique on siad image is welcome,

    cheers,
    Gary Murray

    Gary, your image is ot showing.

    In the Eager to Learn Gallery, there's a thread with instructions on how to upload the images.

    Looking forward to your Gannets!

    Very nice image, Gary and welcome to the forum! I like the composition, interaction and OOF birds. Exposure and details look good, too. You can post larger images. That way it's easier to make comments and please post some techs.

    Very nice, and I really like Gannets. At this size all I can really say that I would change is to clone out the oof blob in the upper right.

    I agree with Jim's suggestion on cloning the "blob". This image is outstanding. Creative composition and pose and the BG is perfect for poping out the birds.

    I appreciate all comments, as that is how we all get better....so no prob on any critique given.

    The image was made with a Canon EOS3, 300 F4L IS lens, Manfrotto tripod, and Fuji Provia 100F film pulled 1 stop, due to the harsh light when it was made.

    I should have removed the blob, but still have purist blood in my veins being a recent convert to digital.

    The image was sized to 136 Kb, as I thought the limit was 150Kb. I am new to the site and posting process, so I hope to have all the kinks worked out shortly.

    Thanks for the great comments, and big welcome...we are lucky to have a forum like this, with so many great shooters and images.

    cheers, and happy shooting!

    Gary.
