I really liked the way these gulls were lined up, this was a couple of weeks ago near Henley.

I was thinking how beautifully they were all lined up, quite poignant. Then I saw all the "streaks" along the post and it made me laugh! NO SHAME! ahhahaha! Beautiful, but fun still.

You composition just makes the shot, with light on one side and dark on the other, with the birds in between for a nice transition.

Perfect! Plus, I'm a sucker for gulls. And I'm grateful you kept the realism and didn't clone out the bird poop. :)

What a wonderful find, this is just great! I love how they are all sitting on their posts like little sentries. Perfect dof, this really is excellent.

Nice number of gulls, very Feng Shui. Even the drippy poop adds something to the overall character of this image. Very earthy and ethereal. Well done.

I like the sense of fading.

Hope you feel better. :~)

Oh... this is nice. I particularly like that each post has a gull on it, they're all facing the same way, and that the nearest post has a huge streak of bird droppings down it... and the processing does well to highlight all these. Excellent image.
