Fantastic shot with symmetry and of great technical quality, Giangiorgio! Complimenti! Ciao! PDE

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

you have used your extreme tele lens to the max in this frame-filling image of this gull! I like how you have captured the details of its face and established eye contact. The V-shaped composition is very effective, even if the background color is a little dull, which of course you couldn't control. That's the reality of bird photography. Kind regards, Vincent

Grazie mille Vincent for your appreciation and great commentary of my photo, much more appreciated because done by a bird photography expert, ciao Giangiorgio

Sembra voglia parlarci.

Grazie Sergio per questa tua simpatica interpretazione, ciao Giangiorgio

Hats off Giangiorgio, you are the bird photographer! Best regards, Arthur.

Giangiorgio, by the time I started coming along in my fabled photography career, I already had the rule of thirds drummed into my head. Although the bird's impressive wingspan is almost centered horizontally, there is no vertical centering. The photo afforded me a "bird's eye" view of its magnificent wings and - better still - a straight-on view of its face. Quite frankly, I don't know if you've entered any of your bird photos in contests. If not, you must! - - My best always, michael - - - Ciao!

Fantastic capture Giangiorgio! The symmetry is amazing not to mention the perfect focus and details. Well done. Warmest regards, Todd
