Laughing Gulls

Great lighting and expressions

And the other one just doesn't think it was funny at all! Very nice image of these gulls David. The lighting on the birds is terrific.

David,
This is a super shot. What a low angle. You had to be eatin dirt on this shot. Well worth it. The gulls expression is "priceless". The background is to die for. I love the black sand. No nits from me at all David. Awesome!!

Wonderful colors in this shot and the reds really pop agaist the blue part of the BG.

This is great David, I had a good laugh myself. Nice colors and detail. One minor point, I would suggest a small cw rotation to make the sand level, even if it was slightly tilted.

Great action shot, with beautiful colours. The red really pops against the blue background.
I agree with Gary though, about a small cw rotation.

Very cute and very sharp, and I like that charcoal coloured foreground.

Very cool shot, David! I like it very much.

Great catch David, it definately looks like he's laughing.

Gary.

Very cute, definately tells a story. Love the comp and exposure.

Nice one David - like the low perspective and the joke. Handsome birds

cheers

Beautiful poses captured. Colors and lighting are very nice. The blacks on the tails look a bit blocked. Does this need an ever slight rotation? I like the layered look of the background.

Really a fun image David. I can see "conversation bubbles" over their heads saying a variety of hilariious things. IQ looks very good to me and I like the unusual "sandwich" of blue between the browns.

David,

I love the color contrasts created by the brown sand, the cool tones of the water and then the warmer tones above that, the gulls stand out wonderfully from it. I think the poses of the gulls are great and the open bill of the gull on the left is amusing and interesting visually at the same time. I don't think I'd rotate the image any, sand slopes at different angles on shorelines and I just accept that. Lovely colors, sharpness and details.

Well done.

PS, I also meant to say great low angle!

The expressions are priceless... "you think you're soooo *$#*&* funny!!" Great, fun image David and well done too.

gosh this is a cool shot, David. great poses, great light, great low angle, and nice smooth colors.

How many captions could be written for this one. The guy on the right has the perfect "straight man" expression! Thanks for sharing this well executed and delightful capture.

The light on this is great. I like the dof too

Good stuff LB. I just love the look of the gull on the right. Exceptional light and backround. Details just don't get any better than this. I wonder how much oil is on Fourchon Beach. Looks like you won't be crawling around Fourchon for a while.

Great capture, David. The birds really pop off the background, and the color palette is superb.

This one got me to laugh! Wonderful photo all around, especially the colors.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. It is much appreciated. If I ever print this I'll be sure to correct the rotation because it does appear to be a bit off.
