This would be SO much stronger if you had leveled the seriously skewed forizon line. It's a lovelky, moody image.

Opting for Flight

Comment:
For those who said they "could not see a decision" here, and for the record, I crouched witht he camera trained on these gulls for nearly 15 minutes as they bickered and sparred with one another, until finally the one made the deision to take off and be done with it. The image is the actual instant when he implemented that decision. The "head down" pose is the giveaway, they drop their heads as they are lifting off.

Entering this was a no-brainer, as I had no other "decision" images from which to choose. In fact I had not intended to enter, but I was out shooting for "beauty" this particular dawn and this opportunity presented itself.

Thanx, all, for commenting.
