About This is the second in my End of Summer series. It was taken our last day at the beach with my Casio. I hesitate to use my Nikon when we're playing in the sand.

Peter


Margaret Sturgess   {K:49403} 12/28/2004
Great capture, like the way some are clear and others blurry shows the movement

Saintz Saintz2   {K:11163} 12/29/2004
Molto bella anche questa foto !
Complimenti ..
Hai un bel modo di tagliare le foto !
Mi piacciono molto i soggetti centrali messi ai bordi e sullo sfondo come i bambini in questo caso !!
Molto belli poi anche i gabbiani .. molto movimentati !
Complimenti !!!
Hai proprio un bel portfolio !


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/30/2004
Saintz: Questa volta scriverò in italiano, usando il mio Google per aiutarlo. È molto piacevole conoscere che cosa gradite circa le mie immagini. Siete molto generosi. Grazie molto. :) T.


AJ Miller   {K:49168} 12/30/2004
A clever title for an excellent image - it's perfect like this, and one of the best images I've seen in quite a while.
AJ


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/30/2004

this is a very beautiful and strong picture,Toni ;-)
looks like you have used some software on the gulls and the sea.
my regards,
kostas


Christian Payne   {K:1398} 1/6/2005
Wow what great framing.. and what action caught.
There is so much going on. I don't know how you feel about digital manipulation but i think the cloning of wing tip on the left would make this great picture even better.

Great work.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 1/6/2005
Thanks Christian. I am a great fan of digital manipulation..no problems with it at all. In fact, the background blur is compliments of PS. I agree with you and had considered cloning the wing out. But something made me keep it there. It's funny, but sometimes I feel like the manipulation spoils the honesty of an image. But when I'm doing portraiture and there's a piece of trash on the ground that is out of reach, I think..."I'll just clone that out along with that ugly stopsign later." Sometimes you feel like a nut...sometimes you don't. T.


Hugo de Wolf   {K:185017} 1/6/2005
Hi Toni, immensly dynamic shot, and i think converting it to B&W is an excellent choice, preserving the colour would only be redundant to the dynamism and tensioon in this shot. Very well captured!

(Browsing through the recent comments sometimes reveal amazing gems, such as this one....:)

Cheers,

Hugo


Craig Beckman   {K:419} 1/14/2005
this capture is unreal! the body language from both subjects adds depth beyond what I could explain!!! very nice picture.


Karen Ferranti   {K:2953} 1/15/2005
another great one!


Agust Agustsson   {K:881} 1/17/2005
talk about things in focus. remarkable. i've made many attampts at seagulls with little to show for it. this is really good.


Mark Beltran   {K:32612} 2/7/2005
Perfect timing, looks like. I can see in my mind's eye the motion of the gulls and the boys, that it all seems to move.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 2/7/2005
Thanks Mark...it did that for me and I'm glad to know it works that way for you too.


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:192002} 3/17/2005
extreemly gorgeous..
my dera this is a wonderful shot!
la metto subito nelle favorite.. è un colpo da maestro!
un grande caos elegante e raffinato!
il leggero effetto del mosso e dello sfuocato sono bellissmi!
baci e abbracci..
roby

Enrico Mazzoni   {K:806} 4/7/2005
It's always a pleasure to return here and discover with calm new treasures.

Ciao

Enrico


Randy Lorance   {K:24769} 5/2/2005
Toni,I am just so impressed spending more time looking through you portfolio, wonderful compositions as well as such proficient PS work.
This is a great capture,I like the boys placement escaping the waves AND almost the picture, and the gulls going the other dirrection,particularly the uppermost bird which adds so much to the shot. I think you might have considered cloning the portion of bird on left but imagine it's been mentioned already in the 51 comments;)

Randy


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 5/2/2005
Thanks Randy, for the great comment. You remind me of that darned wing. I think it was indeed mentioned, and rightly so. Antonia


Cheryl Ogle   {K:24494} 5/4/2005
OMG - LOVE this shot! What a wonderful image you have created here.


luis pereira   {K:22507} 9/19/2005
The perfect timing. There was no other moment.


Grzegorz Markowski   {K:4752} 12/19/2006
super :) !!!


Michele Beccia   {K:5299} 11/3/2009
Excellent capture, well done!:)
