Wow, this is absolutely stunning! I am both amazed and blown back by the level of sharp details you see in this seagulls down-turned wing! This bird is in flight and you effectively freeze framed it so that we can look at & appreciate the variation of colors in it's wing & body as well as the shape & texture of the wing. Also love how you captured it in a natural setting. The sand and the blur of the pier in the backdrop really helps invoke the imagery of a day at the beach watching the seagulls fly by.

hey, I've seen this photo before (in flight), and I was wondering where? Have you posted it on other sites?
Just wondering..

Good job. I still think this one is better:

| Sharp clear picture with excellent stopped motion. Wing tip extending out of edge has a tendency to pull me from the subject, and the background id distracting. |

| Wow, very nice photo. This one grew on me. If only the tip of the wing were inside the image, it would be darn near perfect. Very nice work. |

| Amazing focus - it must have taken hundreds of shots to get! |
|
|
|
04/17/2002 11:08:00 AM |
| Nice shot. The background being blurry just made the image of the bird even more sharp. |

| Good job. Depth Of Field is pretty nice. It's gonna be in the top 5 :) |
|
|
|
04/16/2002 05:47:00 PM |
| Very well done with some remarkable detail. It only could have been better if the bottom wing wasn't cut off. Otherwise, great! |
|
|
|

| If there was one thing I had to complain about in this one its that the bird should have been a little bit more to the right. |

| Great shot -- perfect focus -- would have loved it even more if the wing had made it completely into the image space instead of being just cropped out |
|

|

| My favorite animal photo in this challenge. great clarity for the bird, great out of focus background giving depth but not distracting the image. One of my top 5 |
|

|

| This is very nice. It just seems like something isn't quite right about it. Like you should be able to see some of his other wing or a foot. The seagulls I know always fly with their feet hanging down. Hmmmm. |
|
|
|
04/16/2002 12:36:00 AM |
| A shame that the tip of the wing was clipped a little, otherwise an excellent photo! |

| Well exposed and good focus. Nice composition. |

| Finally, someone who knows the value of blurring the backgound. I like it a lot. Maybe I would have tried to keep the wing tip from touching the bottom edge but I'm not sure. I think I want to just keep looking at it. |

| I wish the beach in the background had a little more focus (shoulda told the seagull to slow down!), very good detail on the gull |
|

| This is going to be very difficult for me not to rate this photograph highly. This is an AWESOME photo. The composition is almost perfect. The wing is a little close to the bottom of the frame. The sharpness, detail, and perfect depth of field here makes this a phenomenal photograph. I am voting on this photograph by the same method I voted on another GREAT bird photograph. It would receive a 10 if the challenge was Birds. A gliding bird is a rather stationary object. I can't buy into this as a great interpretation of the challenge of "stopped motion". I related this to photographing a ferrari riding on a flatbed rail car in my earlier comments on another photograph. Kudos on the GREAT photo and keep up the good work. |

| Wow! Just a TINY bit of wider framing so as to not lose that wing would've made this perfect. What a beautiful shot anyway though, the detail on the wing is staggering. |
|

| I love this photo. WOW! I can't say that there is anything wrong with this photo. :) I give this a 10 |

| Great use of DoF to blur the background. |

| Nice shot. Definitely stopped the action here. One of the top pictures in my mind. |

| absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful focus and depth of field. Got no idea how u do that when the bird could fly anywhere |
