Gull BIF

[Katie Rupp]

Another from the other day at the new spot I found. C&C encouraged and greatly appreciated.

Canon 1DmkIII; f6.3, 1/2500; ISO 500; 500f4; hh

Saved the whites Katie. Has a serene feel to the image and I like the OOF reeds on the left to balance the comp. Wonder if I would warm it up a bit??

[Mark Young]

Very nice perspective. I like this sort of head on composition.

[Alfred Forns]

Love it Katie Sharp, well framed and exposed Particularly like the bottom grasses, makes the image special for me !!

Hope you won't get hung up on hand holding the big lens, personally would stick on a tripod except when there is no choice. Will have far better results overall even when doing flight.

Hi Katie - As I opened your image and scrolled down, I said "Wow!!" For me this composition is stunning. Exposure looks terrific and I like the bg.

Congrats on a terrific image

Cheers
Gail
ps - I am probably just envious of your hh results as I struggle with the 500mm + 7D :o
