Fly Away... Look back...

Gulls are great for unique flight poses. Here, flying away with wary look back as fisherman shooed him off bait bucket. Not the best pose, but gave me a chuckle.

Hi David,

Nice look. a relaxing photo.

Hi David .... kind of a cool shot .
FRaming is good for me .
IQ is not really there , sorry to say .
Too much contrast , strong sharpening halo , noise visible in the underwing , chromatic aberration or color fringing . Heavy processing compared to the lovely subtle work of the last posting ... why that ???

Sorry for being straight forward , David

Got to agree with Andreas here David....the bird flying away kind of kills it as well. BTW, when you mentioned Jethro Tull...Ian Anderson is from the same place as me

Probably because I finally need to buckle down and learn PP skills and especially how to deal with nuance of color I don't see. Thanks as always for your help, my friend.

For me David not a big fan of straight wings. It is nice you got the look back. Little different still like looking. TFS

David .... try to make small steps . And build up slowly .... and in this frame there is not a real color problem

Cool, Ian Anderson is a great musician and entertainer with a wonderful fusion of English folk, American jazz and Classical influence. I hear you on the image help. Thanks for the valued inputs.

Hi David. Agree with the feedback so far. More of a head turn towards us would be good.
Jethro Tull...one of my favourite bands. Saw them live in Brisbane a few times...first around 1975...magical.

You were lucky to get him peeking back under the wing, but the rear view of an otherwise fleeing trajectory doesn't work for me. Sky behind does have a very dreamy quality to it; it's very nice.

Don't want to come across as harsh this is a delete for me :)
