Ruffled Feathers

[Guest]

I am not sure about this one, with all the lovely BIF shots posted here, but even though I didn't quite nail this gull, I keep coming back to it, probably because it isn't the usual sleek gull shot.

I am not into bird photography at all but I like this.

Its possible to pick holes in it all round but I would criticising what I like about it. There are enough bits sharp for this to work for me.

Re: Ruffled Feathers

I like it also sharp head and eye contact?

Re: Ruffled Feathers

I like this one too, there is enough sharp areas where it matters, it's a good capture nicely framed best of all if you like it that's what counts. If others do then that's a bonus, so far who have 3 thumbs up, great stuff

I would like to be as far on at capturing BIF as this shot Lyn.

Hi Alf, Thanks for replying. This is exactly what I thought when I saw it. Plenty of it not as we try to do with BIF, but the oof feathers gave me the feeling of flight.

Thanks Ed, we will probably be a small select group that like it, but heh - we don't have to obey thise rules all the time do we!

Thanks Tom. I DO like it, I think it seems to capture the cheekiness and "don't care attitude" of gulls.

Thanks Conor. It won't get mass approval, but it makes me smile when I look at it.

Great action and eye, Lyn and the lighting is nice. The gull has a lustrous look.

Thanks Mark - hope that knee and all the sore spots are improving!
