Seagull Bread Run
by muggle_girl

Comment:
the wingspan of the main gull really compliments the rock formation. if he could have angled himself even more...that would have been art. i would have cloned out the other one. colors are a bit muted...seagulls face is a blown out, but it still works for me due to the shapes, and interesting background textures-6

cool capture. wish the colors were a bit more saturated. looks like the camera had some trouble with fringing on the tail feathers. i wish the there was closer proportion between sky above and below.. so i guess i would have liked to see a tighter crop.-6

nice focus. like the smoothness of the lake. would have liked to see a wider composition, as this with the tough, minimal lighting just isn't that exciting to me-4

Just before take off

i like how you have captured determination in his face...most likely from getting ready to take off. I wish you would have been able to call this pick "Determined" and gotten away with it on this site. Actually "Determined to catch that fish" might have worked. the focus is a bit soft, the colors are a bit washed out. i'm not a big fan of those vertical reflections. i would have tried to focus on the face somehow-5

Mighty bird

face is a bit dark...though you had some pretty tough lighting. I would have cloned out everything branchy after just past the feet. it feels like there's too much empty space-4

"Just Ducky"

wish there was more space between the reflection and the border. it's very painterly, but i still wish the focus was a bit tighter. As you already know...the border was a bit over the top.-5

Territorial Dispute!

nice action capture. a couple of steps to the left if possible to separate them (the beak from the wing) a bit might have helped. i like how the pattern of the palm trees match their feathers, but in this case i would have rather been closer to their faces-5

Take a gander at THIS....

i like the orange reflections balance of the orange in the birds, i wish it wasn't so close to the end of the frame. the yellow flower and the plant between them are a bit distracting.-5

i like the use of flash against a bright background. I wish the sky background coverd the bird and the tree was more off to the left. my eye wants to go to that dead space, so i guess i would have cropped closer to the wing.-6
