    Default Gull in Flight

    Another BIF practice shot, taken mid-day because there were lots of opportunity with these gulls at that time. Does the green blob distract too much? C&C encouraged and appreciated and thanks for looking!

    Very nice capture Katie.
    I like the down wing position, details are sharp and color rendition is good. Exposure is in check. Would have been ideal if the head angle were better. It needs just 1 click CCW rotation. The eye is sharp...good show...:cool:

    Great BIF shot Katie. Like the placement in the frame, background , and exposure are very good. Agree with Gus regarding the head angle.
    Congrats,

    Nice capture Katie! Minor HAP violation, but very sharp! I'd remove the green blob, and I might tone down the vertical band of rock in the RLC.

    Good capture. Hard to get BIF. Is the background a little too busy and competing with your bird? You are working hard on your flight shots. Keep it up!

    Hi Katie,
    I'm standing by with bail money...:eek:
    Lovely shot - I particularly like the look of the wings. Might consider cropping a little off the top and bottom for more of a pano.
    Regards,
    Nicki

    Hi all, thank you for your comments. Harold, the BG is a rocky cliff and Jackie, yes it's busy and I did add blur; I'll work on it based on the suggestions. Thanks!
