Advertisement Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 Hi robert_parker, Take a look here Anyone Want Some Beak ???. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted August 13, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 13, 2006 Robert - Terrific details, subject, setting, exposure and colors. I'd be tempted to crop some from the left. In the initial shot I would have been tempted to make it a vertical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleeson Posted August 13, 2006 Share #3 Posted August 13, 2006 I think it's a great shot just as is. I like the detail of the foliage as well as the bird... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_peter_m Posted August 13, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 13, 2006 Nice Catch Robert. This one must be pretty tame to let you get this close. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted August 14, 2006 Stuart, Philip, Leicamann and Peter - Thank you for your kind comments - Stuart I agonised over the correct crop and composition for this one, I'll post the alternative shot on a nearby thread. Philip - Thanks for your kind comments, the hardest part was the exposure difference between bird and background Leicamann - Chips (frites) are the universal currency for British Seagulls - this one likes bread though !! Peter - They aren't so much tame, as having no fear of humans. I live near the coast and the Gulls turn up at the bird table, along with the sparrows - the difference is they have to sit on the roof and hang down on both sides !! Thanks for looking, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
