Hi everybody
Been off on my hols for the last couple of weeks so no posts or comments, however here is one that is a bit different, not much wildlife on my family hols so amused myselffor a couple of hours photographing gulls off the boat as we left port. I have then put them together into a composite image. I know this will not be everybodoes cup of tea but hey hoe. I have done quite a few of these in the past with different subjects and find they are quite effective when printed large 24x12in. As always all comments and critique most welcome
I'm afraid this doesn't work for me as you've got the direct sunlight coming from all different directions which looks a little odd.

A good effort but as Justin says, the lighting is all over the place.

It has very strong impact, but I agree with others about the lighting.

You need to reverse the layers for the central two gulls, perspectively wise the wing cross is wrong - the rear (lower) gull is bigger than the foreground (upper) gull, or you need to reduce the lower gulls size by at least 30%
Apart from the light issue the perspective error is quite unsettling for me.
