Gulls

I like the way gulls play around making easy photo opportunities.

An interesting conversation.

Very virginal and sharp

It would have been nice Jim, if the front one was not a blured stain of a bird without any details.Pity.

Oh really? I take that comment to mean that you're sore cause I was right about your image and you're just hitting back at me. That's not the way to grow. You should learn how to keep your contrast down and expose to keep whites in the image. Then come back here and tell me if you can get a huge depth of field at 600mm handheld in low light. Or tell me why it would matter. The main subject is sharp. The image does not depend on everything being in focus. You will realize all these things one day when you learn more about nature photography. In the mean time, accept criticism. Remember that the critiqer has taken the time to stop and make a very real and helpful comment. The person has tried to help you, even though it hurts. I see no reason to call a black pot white, although you might think of it as grey.

Jim, you are dead wrong!I did not want to retaliate you.! far from it. That was written in my best judgment and retaliating is not what I do when I get a comment like yours. I'm sorry if you have recieved it the way you did (after reading your answer).You have to remember though, that as you have your point of view, others have thiers.I hope my answer will clear the subject.Will be glad to see more of your works.

Jim, I went into your site, and have found many nice images, including the dogs, including your photo and your wife.I have enjoyed looking at it.I have read as well about the 100-400 mm lens,Is it a Canon?

It is a nice site. Thank you for directing me to it. Pnina
