Hi Pablo

A lovely, calm shot. The horizontal line of light brown really makes the composition - though I am sure that is why you placed it there! Excellent focus and colour.

Hi Pablo.
I recognize your impressive "firm" style of this charming landscape picture. This is nice trees on the FG (on the left and on the right), large depth of view (not the DOF), richness of content (various attractive objects in dependence of subject), vibrant colours and razor sharpness and a lot of nice details. My greetings and compliments again. Bravo.
Alexei.

Hi Pablo

This is a splendid photo of what looks like an amazing and very beautiful natural habitat.
It is a little bit strange to me to see seagulls in the middle of the forest, but i've heared about it more than one time, so...
The place also looks ideal for all sorts of other animals (vertebeates and invertebrates together) so i for one would search more there for interesting subjects for shooting :)

Photographically speaking, i really like the colors and their saturation here, as well as the excellent exposure and composition.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Pablo,
A while ago I ran into some swapgulls and even some citygulls. So it seems that they are very adaptive.
This is the kind of natural enviroment that makes me want to leave the office and drive to it. The mixture of trees, water and mountains is just awesome. Wonderful work on the composition using the two trees for a natural frame. The clarity and details in this photo are perfect. Love the blue sky and the refelction on the pond.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Pablo,

Man, I can smell the pine trees and the mountain air from here!
I might've chopped down the tree that's smack-dab in the middle of frame..just kidding ;-))
Very well done.

Hello Pablo,
I guess the gull on the little island in the middle of this forest pond is a Little Gull as this is the kind of nesting habitat that they have.
As usual, great composition and colours and fine stratification of the foreground, the pond and the ridge of trees on the skyline, giving the image an almost 3-D effect.
Well done and TFS!
Best wishes, Ivan

Curious thing, that seagull... or forestgull, ha, ha! And a marvellous forestcape too!
I love the composition and the presence of the seagull on the islet in the middle of the pond is just a point. I had heard Norway to be a great place to see, and thanks to you I can see it.
Congratulations and thank you very much, dear friend.
Greetings

Hi Pablo,
Funny you should see a gull there, when just yesterday I had one in my backyard eating grasshoppers! Course I live on a big lake so not unusual to see them but first time to see them in the back yard! Beautiful photo, love that bright blue sky!! Great spot looking at the island through the frame of woodland trees..TFS

Hi Pablo,
Yes, seagulls are pretty adaptable, they can live in cities (with river) or on the seaside, but it seems like they can live anywhere. Fantastic landscape from You again, sharp as razor, very nice compo and colours. Masterwork again, big congratulations! Friendly regards, László

PS (off-topic): please check out this image on TrekLens I dedicated to You in the name of "3 of a kind".

What a nice surprise...you have created your own species:-) Nice notes to go with the deep woods image so well. I am using same camera as well. They add some special technique or perhaps you share an eye with me...

Hello Pablo
You have a great eye for composition! The sky, trees and foreground are put together so nicely. The vegetation adds lots of intrest with all the textures and colours. The trees on both sides creates a nice frame and holds your eye to the center of the image.

PS I though of you yesterday when I took the picture of the country road with all the fall colour :D

Hi Pablo,

Are that really gulls? I think that this birds are sterns. They are breeding on little islet everywhere in nature. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway your photo is superb.The difference kind in trees on the Fg, the pond in the middle and the mountain full of pineforest. Such a warm colors make your compo almost perfect. And by the way your frame is oké. Well done. Regards and TFS Bob

Hi Pablo

I love the shot showing the area so very well. the colours are really saturated and your details as ever are great. Gulls do get everywhere. Great composition, I really don't know how you manage with all the trees sometimes. it totally defeated me in Sweden last year!

Hi Pablo,
A beautiful and tranquil landscape. Well composed and framed. The white of the gulls really draws your eyes to them surrounded by are the shades of greens and browns. Beautiful sky and clouds top if off.

Pablo,
Excellent piece of landscape. MOST PLEASANT.
Very well presented.
Loved your note. You are truely "observant". These gulls eat insects too. Soon you will have more of them in the area. They also eat eggs and chicks of other birds. They keep the environment clean, if you know what I mean?
Great piece of ART too.
Regards,
Mario.

Hi Pablo,

Again a wonderful view about a nice part of your country, I think that you now have to back to the same place for a autumn shot, with the lovely colours this period of the year.
Very well done.

A lovely landscape, Pablo. You are experiencing it all -- water, trees, beautiful sky. It looks positively idyllic. Nice contrasts and colors. Sharpness and clarity are good. Your comment on the gull is interesting, too. One of those images where the big picture **is** the picture. Wish we were there :)

Hi, In california, gulls eat garbage from humans, dumpsters, trash dumps, and stel food from blankets of peope on the beach. I see them far inland. Beautiful pond.

hello Pablo,
I missed this wonderful picture. It is such a quiet and peaceful place. And the gulls are right to have built their nest there, even there is no fish around! They can see these marvellous trees and the magnificent sky above. My mind is already in this landscape. Thanks a lot
