I like this one Doyle. The little glimmers of the water and the OOF sea lions in the BG are lovely with the light. Perhaps should have been called 'Gull's toilet" tho...LOL
Nice shot;) R

Doyle :)
A sharpness appeals to me in the foreground and washing away the background. Great composition. Cordialities:)

Sparkle...say that a couple of times, becomes very funny after 4 or 5! Perfect dof and composition Doyle. I'm starting to feel I went to S.F. also, thanks for that, seriously!...I've never been there!

Overall I like this. I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more sharpness in the gull's head, and to have somehow moved that post out of the way in the background.
cheers,
Jon

Great shot of this Gull Guard !!!
Good detail, and positioning ... I Really like this part.
I like the composition, but also like the Gulls position from the back... a bit different POV
The DOF is particularly contributing with the sun sparkles from the bay... I love this one, and I love seagulls!
Best wishes,
Michele~

Well now Rebecca . . . aren't you being cute?? Gotta say, though . . . the title "Gull's Toilet" just doesn't sound . . . uhhhhh . . . I dunno, SANE? LoL! Then again, it would probably have gotten a LOT more views with such a title, who knows? :) Hehehehee . . . how about "Sea Lions . . . . . . . for me to POOOOP on!"
Thanks for your comment (I quite enjoyed it) . . . I'll think of something more title-appropriate but bizarre for a future shot just to see how it affects the number of people viewing it!! ;)

Hey Robin . . . the magic word - Sparkle. I'm a guy and, therefore, easily distracted by shiny, sparkly things. Never tried saying it repetitively before. I got one for you though . . . try say "Gull" five times and I swear you'll start to here it in Goofy's voice! (Or maybe it's just me?) Garsh! :) Always welcome Robin!

Hey Jon . . . I'm with you about the post but really, except PS cloning nothing to be done. They anchor the sea lion floats. The bird is one and they surround the place. With you on the head too . . . :)

Hey Doyle,
I like your DOF in this photo. I just wish the seagull was sharper and not slightly overexposed. Just my 2 cents.

Very good lighting and moment captured here, Doyle. The pole "blocking" her view might be a little distracting, in my humble opinion :)

Oooooooh! And it was the distant pole I was trying to shoot!! Heheheheheee . . . just kidding! Can't help the pole Hanggan . . . they surround the scene . . . including the one the gull is on. Can't really clone it either . . . it would be obvious . . . even with consummate skill . . . to any who had been at the spot. But thanks for the comment . . . I very much enjoy hearing from you.

This has great composition sharp detail on the subject against a soft background. The photo is beautiful
Thank you for your review and comment of my ocean scene. You are correct. I tried to deal with the halo outline before I entered it only to scarifies something else. I suppose more work should have been done with it.Thanks again.
