The night traveller
Hello

I hope you dont mind me posting this ?, as there is a "photo art" section on this forum, i thought it would be OK.Plus i'd like to show you what i have done :smile: .

Remember the image i posted of the Herring Gull.Well i changed it quite abit.

I changed the way they herring gull looks.Added the moon.Added the moons reflection, to show he is out at sea and added the star's.

C & C welcome

Thanks for looking :smile:

Hi Alan

I quite like what you have done, but the following IMO would improve it. The moon as you have it would not have thrown that much light on the back of the bird so I feel a 'full moon' would work better which would also give you licence to put a little more detail in the water to give you an horizon. I also find the stars a little bright and too uniform. However this is only my opinion and I still like the image!

Hi Alan,

Congrats for trying something new! I agree with David that a horizon would improve this. No idea how you go about it though!!!

Allowing for artistic licence I like this image. Technically it could be improved as David suggests.Full marks for trying something new. :toast: :toast:

Hi Alan,
Great imagination and a good combination of the various elements.
