A single pebble on a beach. One among many. The choice of that one (or in this case two). This photo technique you teach me about and how to make that isolation within a context.

Gorgeous. Would make a great poster. I'm also surprised it didn't score higher.

All those smooth curves lost a lot in the downsizing to 640 pixles. That's no shortcoming of the pic, though. Nice work on this.

I could easily imagine this photo being used in an advertisement for jazz. Beautiful lights and darks!

Superbly framed and lighting is equally impressive... the reflections make it almost look like a fluid. Bravo.

Comment by Melethia:
It takes a moment to see the background is also gulls - and it's an excellent backdrop. I like the closeness of the two you captured in the foreground, and it appears one is missing a leg, poor thing. Perhaps they've banded together for that reason.

Six Trees

Comment by Budya:
Erik, I like this photo a lot, it's very moody. The colors are just perfect for a winter lndscape. I love how the color of the orange tree is repeated in the foreground rock and grass. There are strong lines that lead the eye through the image.

I am not too hot about the two trees on the right -- they seem a bit heavy, although they do balance the foreground rocks quite nicely. The people are repeated too many times for my liking, they make the photo a bit crowded.

I like how you've captured these against a sea of other gulls in the background, creating a wonderful texture.
