Larus michahellis - View larger

The overcast sky made it possible to achieve good lighting without

sharp shadows of this seagull (Larus michahellis). Thanks for your

comments

Cheers

Caro Giangiorgio, congratulations on the technical quality of this shot and the beauty with which the animal is cut and enhanced against the uniform background.

It looks like a statue. The space you have left to where the animal is looking (right) is a good choice, because it offers freedom and make the image not to be tight.

Its eyes are cold.

 

Red in beak and around the eye, give the note of color.

Congrats, very beautiful image :)

Con cariño, Laura

 

P.S. the images I love the best are the ones without direct sunlight, I'm very fond of them, I do not like strong shadows, but it's a personal taste. So the light here is superb (!)

Wow, it's like a fine painting, but better.  Perfect... Mike

Superb quality in this photo. I swear this very gull was sitting on my floating dock just the other day. I never imagined he could fly all the way to Sardinia in such a short time!!

For me a bit more of light... but fantastic!!

Beautiful bird, beautiful background. Sharp! Beautiful image. Full marks for me.

Best regards, Wobby

Beautifully smooth and with very nice detail.  Terrific background.

one of the cleanest captures I've ever seen...the green background looks velvety and the light on the bird is just right...well done Giangiorgio...regards....David

Perfectly posed for the picture, Giangiorgio. Excellent colors, light and presentation. Best regards, Paul.

Thanks a lot Paul for your very nice comment
