Hi Ginny !!! I have seen many gull images but this is a first for me crop wise ... :)

... could make it work as a strong pano? Do like the experimentation !!!

[Lance Peters]

Hi Ginny - ditto AL'S comments - Cant decide if this works or not.
Lets see what others say.

Hi Ginny,
I like the fact that your gull has sharp wing details and a sharp clear eye; but the capture angle and the pano crop gives me the impression that the bird lost flight and crashed in the water, and is sinking, just like when an airplane starts to sink after a water crash. Maybe its me...but this one does not do it for me...:)

Still thinking about this -- nothing wrong with trying something a little different (Have you been taking lessons from Nicki???) and heading way OTB.
So for me - its not quite OTB enough - think you have to do something a bit more extreme.

Maybe ....

... try crop the right wing, place the head/eye acording to ROT...don't know if this work...and will be a substantial crop...just an idea...

Sorry! Was begining writing before Mr Peters's post and have not seen it.

Nice out of the box angle, it does sort of give me the feeling of riding on the back of the gull. Maybe if you had more of the body, and more center angle with the head will help more of the riding feeling.
