Freedom

This work fascinates due to the great harmonic arrangement of contrasts of image elements (one sea gull standing still and one being in motion versus different "rigid" construction elements - rail = horizontal lines, lamps = vertical lines - of the pier), moreover the special perspective and outstanding DOF. The lighting and awesome subtle colors are also fantastic. Such piers are great places of inspiration for a skilled photographer under certain conditions (weather and light must match, one should encounter a speical moment during the day or night etc.) IMO, although a lot of people might think there is not really great opportunity to take an innovative photo (because it is such a "common" spot...). You prove here the inspiration at 120 % I would say.

Beautiful work! I like the angle, composition and how the world around the bird in focus is blurred around him. Lovely light and soft color. Thank you for sharing. :)

Pity that one who is flying isn't sharp! I think the picture might work well even without him! Cloning out is my advice!
