Salad with Your Fish?

Gallery: AvianPosted June 24, 2016124 views6 comments

I really liked the way in which this Gull presented the fish. After all, food is all about the presentation, isn't it?

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600mm, handheld, f/7.1, 1/1250, iso 640, manual exposure. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to 11.4 MP before resizing. Taken June 15th at 7:43 AM.

Your comments and criticisms are welcomed and very much appreciated.

Thanks,

I like the salad garnish and glaze on the fish. Certainly unusual to find so discriminating a Gull. sad

to start with ... Excellent moment, sharpness and detail. Only wish would be to have some more space on the RH side, but that's as much the only thing I would like to see changed. Other than that a real, real gem ! Love it ! Hans

Hi Dennis,

Certainly this gull was asking you politely if you had any Grey Poupon sad

. Great details present--I'd like this one better with a vertical comp. Otherwise, a fun shot of predator and prey.......................Jim

I believe this is a seaweed wrap. It is a learned behavior from hanging out at all the Asian restaurants in Bremerton. I like the color balance and detail in the image and I know what I'm having for dinner tonight.
