screwed up the settings here and didn't do too well on post processing either, I think... Oh well, wanted to submit it and will probably be scoring below 5 with this.

Returning for comment.

Nothing like live models to meet a challenge. Bumping up another notch.

You must have some special powers, it's hard enough to line up people for a photo but this. Amazing, great shot.

I like the strong diagonal line through the shot. This shot begs to be taken for this challenge :)

Simply amazing. These birds are a lucky bunch, in more ways than one. Bumping to 8.

This is a cute shot. Definately seven of the subject. Focus on the birds seems a little soft, but they are small subjects, so I wouldn't expect too much detail in them anyway, so it's ok. The lighting looks like it could have been a pretty overcast day, which makes the birds look a little dark. I like the horizontal way you framed the photo as well. Almost perfect from lower left to upper right. Cute shot for the challenge. ~Heather~

Nice capture. I would prefer a more imaginative title though.

Sweet! Great shot. Could you crop more out of the dead space behind the pilings and add more to the front or was there something there you had to crop out of the picture? This is nice.

definately my favourite of the "Bird shots" in this challenge, well spotted and taken.

wow! what a catch!
12/02/2004 03:38:48 AM
Haha. Nice capture. Would love to have the gulls & posts stand out a little more from the background -maybe a day where the sky's not so grey- though I realize this is not exactly a set-up, controlled shot.

Great composition and wonderful capture. I think it could have been better with a bit more color to make the birds stand out from the water. Wouldn't this have been great witha pinkish sunset reflection in the water, but these things we cannot control. Focus could have been a bit sharper, but I really like it. Bumping up 8.

Nice shot! You got lucky! LOL

Hey, I think the one in the middle is saying 'Cheese'! Really nice timing, but a polarizing filter would have calmed the shiny water a bit and added some 'depth' or contrast to this shot.

Beautiful tone to this photograph. Like the perspective of the gulls on the posts. Excellent composition. Very well done.

This made me smile. Good job. Would have made a terrific entry for implied lines, too. Diagonal comp works great. Focus on some of the birds seems just a tiny bit off.
