HI Jprge,
Another excellent seagull shot from your camera. You always capture a nice dramatic pose. Exposure looks good with the nice colors and sharp detail. Well Done!

Hi Jorge,
This is another great inflight. Very well composed, and an excellent POV. Very good sharpness, detail and the BG contrasts nicely.
Difficult light, but you handled it well IMO.
Very well done!

Hi Jorge,
I have a very busy couple of days. But I can make just enough time for a quick visit to TN.
Great capture, thanks for posting. Have a great week.

Hi Jorge,
A nice shot and he seems to be looking straight at you! Nice timing to capture the wings forward but face still in view. We had one of these in the UK recently, it attracted a lot of attention as it had obviously crossed the Atlantic!
Best regards,
Adrian

Hi Jorge
I appreciate your stand against outright modifications to photos. TN rules allow us to do some enhancements, but this is where it should end. I don't mind if a workshop uses a little more freedom, as that is primarily for the learning’s we can gain from it.
To quote what Scott Evers said to me earlier, "Most shots from a digital camera need some correction in one form or another. They may look decent, but PP usually OPTIMIZES what is already there". With other words, it should not put something into the photo that was not there originally, or it should not remove something that was originally there. It is amazing how some do that and then come and tell you that you should have ‘taken’ a photo differently so as not have this or that in a photo. Anyway, it is just my humble opinion.
Having said that I can now pull out my guns and tell you that the slight OE on the gulls head was probably caused by the street lamp just behind it (chuckle).
Nice capture Jorge - good composition, lovely action, and nice DOF.
Well done my friend and TFS.
Regards
Loot

PS. I realise that I am probably on thin ice saying this, but if a photo of domestic or cultivated subjects gets deleted for contravention of TN rules, then strictly speaking the same should apply to manipulated/modified photos because that is also contravening the rules.

Good in-flight picture Jorge, good eye contact, sharp and clear. I would have cloned out the lamp post. Thanks.

Hi JC
I LIKE it, The picture is very well executed and the position of the bird and its wings is excellent!!
Regarding PP , i was just replying to Loots picture. PP does optimize your picture but to what extent? i think it is very less. 95% of the picture parameters have to be taken into consideration while shooting , your PP can improve only those pictures which are shot well :-). and i think there is nothing wrong in PP and it is equivalent to chemical processing in the lab with more dimensions!!!
In this picture the "Raw material" itself is very good and i like it.

Hola Jorge,
Muy buena foto de esta linda gaviota, me gustó mucho la pose del vuelo pero sobre todo su mirada, parece estar mirandote.
El fondo es bueno también, lo unico que veo son esos puntitos blancos abajo que se pueden borrar facilmente.
Saludos
Hernán
