Birds At Play

Grate !... beautiful colors

beautiful image

I don't think you could have got this any better, the water in the foreground is excellent and works well with the sun rays in the background

The birds look digitally superimposed over the seascape as the lighting on the birds is coming from a different angle to the sunset. IMHO if this was a genuine picture there would be very little detail this side of the birds and they would be more of a silhouette. Can the author please advise?

Nice capture and lighting. Good job.

I can smell the salt air

Beutifule

Very impressive. Excellent shot.

I'd agree with Peter's comment. Digital manipulation's fine as long as there aren't distracting anomalies in a traditional composition such as this.

Peter & s.t. cole: The birds are actually part of the original photo. The sky was a bit dull so I replaced it with this one taken later that day at the same location. I didn't think of the contradictory directions of light until Peter mentioned it. Thanks !

A Top picture! Roman

Dull, dreary, new as.yet.under.development, compromised digital shot..only with spectacular lighting, aka jaymaisel.com can u get away with digital in the making of an extra ordinary photo. Composition is not strict, front surf is too unbalanced, ie near the left, where there are also rocks. The sea, clouds and sky look dead as the digits cant clarify the fine nuances of colors.. Only the birds look alive, but they seem frozen in space due to too fast a shutter speed. The suns light rays look anaemic...I dunno why u jumped to a still.under.development, inferior for landscape, medium, when a zeiss. with agfa or fuji shot would have wowed everybody...or did u want us to say wow, look, he uses digital...and then all u manage was to get a half alive photo

Looks like the inside of TTurk's head...where the dull drab dingy underdeveloped and oversold digital paranoia live...

All kidding aside..Really nice shot...Prof Thom forgot his medication and he's been on a big digital bash this weekend...

The sun peeks through the clouds as Apollo and his chariot tug the sun in its orbit around the edge of the flat earth and the false prophet Turk said "let there be no advancements, let there be no technology. For those that move forward shall be doomed to a dull, drab, dreary, colorless existence"

 

Then Einstein said, "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities"

 

Very beautiful scene, nicely caught. Keep shooting, keep improving, keep innovating. *S*

Just ignore TT, he is just being strict with himself as is evident from the lack of photos he has here.

 

"You have to be strict with yourself and not take the shot unless u see it will be great..."

So sayeth the master.

 

 

I agree with Thomas, this dribble drabble could have been livened up if Richard would have waited for the right shot. Perhaps the Lock Ness Monster or Moby Dick.

Thanks for the constructive feedback Thom! You seem well versed in the technical and artistic rules of composition. I'd also like to see some of your work.

Since TT Professes to be an A/C accident investigator, I wonder how many accidents were incorrectly investigated....BTW Nice exposure, can almost feel the breeze.
