[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Good Evening..

I need help with this picture. It was taken while crossing by ferry to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to work. I normally don't think of posting sea gull photos, but this one really grabbed me. I have dozens of sea gulls and they all seem the same (sitting or normal flying position). But with this picture, I just can not stop looking at the beautiful lines of the wings. Especially in full screen. I don't see head or body, just wings. I rarely see real true beauty in a sea gull... Sorry, I can't express how this picture makes me feel.

As for HELP....I did absolutly nothing to this photo. (My efforts are so amature that I usually make no improvement) My question...What would you do? Would you sharpen, crop, remove the blurred bird in the background, center gull, make sky a little more blue????? What do you think about a frame?? I would love any WS, comments etc. Thanks so much for listening.

Kathy

Did a bit of a WS version and posted it. I do agree about the nice lines formed by the wings.

I like your shot.
Please watch my WS.

Hi Kathy,
I've done a quick Workshop, hope you like it.
The line of the wings are very good for the image.
Thanks for posting, have a great week.

Love the simplicity of this bird in flight, and billygoats wksp is all I would do to it. could'nt have composed it better.

I would do nothing, this is amazing enough as is. thanks, Ori

Kathy,
Nice flight shot and I really like the wing form. This would look great as a vertical as well.
