Wish the birds beak was not dipping into the border. I find the border slightly distracting as well, may have worked better without it.

Better if left unframed. Nice shot.
02/16/2004 07:56:56 PM
Almost missed the nose.... nice capture
02/14/2004 08:51:13 PM
Nice shot, great POV. Interesting composition.
02/13/2004 10:52:55 AM
Great shot, only thing I don't care for is the border so close to his beak. 9

This is cropped a little too tightly on the beak.
02/13/2004 02:10:07 AM
cropping sucks, and doesn't fit challenge
02/12/2004 02:29:01 PM
The frame is cropped too close. it shouldn't touch the beak
02/12/2004 01:09:18 AM
This HAS to win the top ribbon. Just a fantastic picture! Absolutely my favorite of the challenge.
02/12/2004 12:01:09 AM
too bad the nose dive is right into the frame! Great capture. Probably the best seagull shot I've seen in quite some time.
02/11/2004 08:17:38 PM
Too tight cropped on the bottom,looks like is doing a nose stand!
02/11/2004 07:08:25 PM
This is so close to spectacular! If that bird had just a little space to dive into, it would be a masterpiece. Meanwhile, you are to be complimented in getting such a clear, stop action shot.

The framing kinda ruins an otherwise good shot in my opinion. The beak pressed up against the line seems a bit out of place.
02/11/2004 03:08:26 PM
The border detracts from the lower left of the photo. Nice colors.
02/11/2004 12:45:22 PM
Hum, not sure I understand the tight crop on the left....?? his bill is on the frame.
02/11/2004 12:22:29 PM
great picture. composition wise and everything. but i dont like the border..sort of looks like you are cropping too close to his beak with it
02/11/2004 11:10:50 AM
Nicely captured
02/11/2004 10:19:55 AM
nicely done, would like a bit more room under the beak, great timing
02/11/2004 09:30:53 AM
Really would have liked to see this without the frame or the beak going past it
nice shot
02/11/2004 06:33:11 AM
a super fast capture. But why have you framed it so his beek is right on the frame? Needs some space.
02/11/2004 05:24:16 AM
ooh lovely shot. leaving a dash of space between the border and the beak woulda done it for me
02/11/2004 04:55:58 AM
Cropped just too tight at the beak, otherwise great!
02/11/2004 04:49:29 AM
Nice interpretation. Pity about the tip of the beak being lost but well captured nevertheless.
02/11/2004 01:46:25 AM
well this COULD have been a really good photo.. but that border.. it JUST snips the nose off the bird... i think i woul dhave liked it without the border.. or with a larger crop before the border.
02/11/2004 01:26:52 AM
i don't think i like the beak actually touching the border.. its actually quite distracting for me.
02/11/2004 01:16:18 AM
I understand it, but that beak is just too close to your frame.
