Sally Morgan   {K:9219} 10/26/2005
Very pretty - I like the way the colours gently graduate into each other in the sky, and the way the light catches the underneath of the gulls.


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 10/26/2005
That's a huge compliment coming from you Darlene, thank you...Linda


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 10/26/2005

Efrain Morales   {K:1685} 10/26/2005
Beautiful linda! The clouds background help a lot to define the birds!


György Szönyi   {K:8347} 10/26/2005
Wow, beautiful birds, it is a fantastic geometry what they create and your pic captures it excellently. I feel the thick black frame a little too heavy and gloomy for this soaring image. Best, György


Dirck DuFlon   {K:35779} 10/26/2005
Absolutely beautiful photo, Linda - you captured a ballet staged against a sunset sky! This composition feels perfectly balanced, too, with the birds distributed just right throughout. I love the rainbow of shades you have in the sky here - cool up high, then warming toward the horizon... Very well done mi amiga! Un abrazote!


Larry Fosse   {K:65797} 10/26/2005
Very well done ...and excellent technique for a quick capture Linda...The birds are flying right out of the photo...superb!


Dave Stacey   {K:117108} 10/27/2005
Great lighting for this one, Linda, and your crop is perfect!
Dave.


Gust@vo Sch3v3rin   {K:121353} 10/27/2005

Un abrazo!


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/27/2005
Gorgeous composition, Linda! To catch all those gulls in flight, and "freeze" them in a frame, with a beautiful sky behind them, is extraordinary! Love this one, wonderful colors, beautiful wing movement and perfect crop. Superb!

Hi Len and thank you for stopping by and commenting, Yes I had my camera in hand ready to go and hoped to get them strolling on the beach, but as I approached they took flight, I got off 3 shots and was happy to see that one of them actually was useable...pays to be prepared, huh? Thanks again...Linda


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 10/28/2005
Thank you Amna, I appreciate your stopping by my image and commenting...Linda


Rina     {K:26519} 10/28/2005
Wow. Can't decide what strikes me more, the gradient colours or the birds in flight...

Great timing too. You've managed to capture them so that each and every bird's wingspan is visible. Awesome planning... ;)

Cheers Linda and thanks so much for your wonderful comment. Another 3 weeks yet before hubby returns... :(


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 10/28/2005
