    Default The cliff of the Herring Gull

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Nikon D200, AF-S VR 70-200/2.8, 2x TC @ 210mm. F5.6, 1/800, -0,3, ISO 125. Handheld. The bird is ringed and thats because the picture is taken just outside an bird observatory.

    To narrow at the left wingtip? Sharpness? Comp? I´m a little bit uncertain about this picture, all comments are appreciated.

    Thanks for watching

    Overall I like it, but yes I do think a tiny bit more room is needed above. I would also clean up the rock, eliminate the dark streak in the water, and maybe selectively brighten the eye. Also just noticed the leg band, so this is going to be transferred to the "Hand of Man" forum...

    BTW great light you got here!! :-)

    I'd like a little more room as well but you do have beautiful light and a nice pose from the gull. Equally beautiful is the BG. Cleaning the rock as suggested would also make it more pleasing....but that's a matter of choice. Well done.
