I like this shot. It's different. The lighting on the gull is very interesting. Even the very simple sky in the background works. Some would say that there should be space in front of the bird to give an idea where it's going, but, I would certainly disagree here! It really puts interest.

I agree with what Joel said already and think maybe a flash would have helped also. That said the lighting is interesting as it is now also. Detail and pose is great, nice image I like it.


Cheers Wayne :D

Gee I never though of bringing my flash with me. It was shot with my 70-200 times 1.6 crop times 1.4 teleconverter for a 480 mm equivalent shot. Ya think flash would have helped at that distance? If so, I will try it next time.:)

Well I shoot at 500mm and sometimes with a 2x Tcon, add to that 1.6 crop factor. so with that line of thinking I'm at 800mm-1,600mm at times and it seems to help. I guess it would depend on iso setting and subject distance though.

I totaly agree, this very rarely works with space behind the subject but i think the reason it works in this shot is because the posture of the bird indicates the end of the journey, so it's not about where he is going but more about where he has been

Great shot with amazing interest

Edit: *Just a beginers opinion*
