***Karaté Kid Gull***

[Yves Guillot]

Hello everyone!

Here is a Gull stretching that makes me think of this title. Taken with old Pentax equipment in May 2008.



Pentax K10D
Pentax MF 600 mm 1: 5.6 - 1/100s f/10.0 iso400 Flash Full Frame

C&C : thanks!

Really cool pose. Good sharpness. I like the motion blur in the raised foot. Wish you hadn't clipped your subject. I see a green cast in the image.

Yves:

Agree with Doug's comments. In addition, wish he was a bit more right in the frame (more room on the left)

The pose really fits this month's theme.

Cheers

Randy

Interesting pose and I like the blurred foot. Yes to better color balance and more room all around. And to a nicer perch.
