oh my!!!!!! So friendly??????? Well i remember once at our port there was lot of gulls (at the period the polish let us takes shots...agggrrrrr) the gulls was very wild and you cannot be closer that....200 meters hahaha....only as they flying and try to "land" to the water to catch the fish ...IF you was very lucky that could be at...50 meters... BUT a shot like that with 55mm????? SUPER!!! Of course I believe you pay him with something to eat as being your ....model....hahahahaha messing with you because I'm so jeluse and green right now, I love gulls, I believe that is the ultimate sympol of freedom...
anyway...the shot is really amazing and personaly I don't care about the...little bit overexpose (the sun angle looks like don't works here well for you) ...but I don't mind, the shot is amazing, at the end IF I CAN I TAKE A PHOTO BETTER THAN YOU.....hahaha I bet I already have lost that bet!
Excellent dear Michele, an amazing image.....hmmmm perchaps you are a very good person and so the gulls does not afread you...but when they see me..........................

Bye bye!

Not only luck Michele, you must be very slow to your movements to be closed to that, and you need lot of tries and time for that...and I don't have that....hahahahaha....I'm always want the good photo now...and blows everything...:-D


biljana mitrovic   {K:43157} 8/11/2007
I never saw gull so close:)))Thank you :))))

Hugs my dear
Biljana

Hi Nicki, Thank YOU for the comment on my Big seagull- she is pretty Big but also I was so close to her .....no more than 2 arm lengths away and I was trying for a close up :)) I lucked out on the lighting , and she was a good model ,she liked getting her picture taken - haha!!
Happy Week-end to You dearest Nicki.......
Big Hugsssss, Michele~


Michele Carlsen   {K:128850} 8/11/2007
You are right John - no fast and quick movements or the subject leaves the scenario too :)) I just kept tossing food and had her come closer and was ready for the shot- hoping all the while I would get a chance - & I did but I took abiut 6 shots to get the one decent one ---haha!
Oh the joys of shooting nature :))

Thank YOu for the comment my friend !
Cheers,
Michele~


Michele Carlsen   {K:128850} 8/11/2007
Thank YOU dear biljana- this is why I called this seagull so friendly because she was soooo close I could've reached out to her:))) Yes I ate plenty first and then shared with this bird and her friends....

Hugs to You my dear,
Michele~

Ahmed Ismail   {K:19853} 8/11/2007
A very beautiful capture!! She must have been quite close to you. I also like the texture of the sand in the background.
Regards, Ahmed


Michele Carlsen   {K:128850} 8/11/2007
Thank YOu dear Galal.... I appreciate your comment so much .

A funny thing is my name is female french 'Michele`' but I was first born & my parents wanted a son to name Michael...so they still to this day call me 'Mike' :)) anyway ......

Regards,
Michele~


Michele Carlsen   {K:128850} 8/11/2007
Thank YOU Ahmed for your always helpful & kind comments !! I value them ..
Regards, Michele~


Maryanne Murillo   {K:9444} 8/13/2007
I like this image a great deal, Michele -- the various tones of white and gray and the light that backlights both birds and shines on the sand behind. Nicely done, indeed.

Maryanne


Michele Carlsen   {K:128850} 8/15/2007
Thank Yuu so much for your comment and support dear Maryanne...now I am trying to play catch-up... Summer-time has a way of keeping a better balence for us and de-taching ME from the pc - which is a good thing :))

All the Best,
Michele~
