Over You

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Not the best quality wise as I would have liked a touch more eye from the top gull . A closer look does reveal it's catch light. I had to remove the bridge in the bg. 40% cropped. Just wanted to share the capture with you for the end of this months theme. I thought it was fun

Cheryl:

Striking interaction, pose of lower bird. Well exposed. Like the flying water, mud.

If the IQ will tolerate, I would consider cropping this more as a vertical since all the action is in the vertical plane.


Cheers

Thanks Randy. I actually did do a vertical too but not sure about the IQ WDYT? OOPS FORGOT T SHARPEN IT

[dankearl]

The IQ is first rate, I think not having both birds heads visible hurts this though.

[Robert Holguin]

Excellent image! Superb timing. I really like the shooting angle and the water and mud drops. Exposed verywell and dont mind not seeing the top gull's eye. I personally like the vertical crop.
Well done.

Hi Cheryl, thats some neck bending from the lower gull, and I do like the flying wings from both gulls. Good low angle, and the vertical does look better.

Great interaction and exp...The first thing I thought when I opened was vertical and I see you did it. I would say a bit more space on the vertical then it will be great.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Lovely action/interaction, ok in an ideal world we would see two heads but hey I think this is great.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Very cool. Thanks all I will add more to the vertical and it's a keeper.
