 Seagulls feeding at the mouth of a small lagoon. The waves were breaking over the mouth of the lagoon and the birds were feeding on whatever it was that was left behind on the sand bar.

16" exposure. I was surprised that some of the birds stayed as still as they did for that length of time.

At first I was going to say you need a bit more focus on the birds then I read your description and that it was a long exposure. Great job, I don't know how you got such good focus on such a long exposure.

Quite a lot of detail for a 16" exposure, with basically everything in the image moving, except the land. I especially like the warm tones, that are in stark contrast to what I imagine the temperature to be.

I like how the inlets on each side of the image pinch your eye toward the birds and infinite horizon.

Love the muted tones and soft focus. The swirling water is beautiful.

Amazing what hunger & apprehension will make them do. Lovely scene, esp the swirls in the foreground.
