Cotton wool.. and 2 black birds
Three (mostly) cloud shots and two black gulls. Click a pic for a larger version then critique away.

Hi Peter,
nice shots, but they are not black gulls 
I'm no bird expert, but I think they are Pied Oystercatchers. I like the third one the best. Having the foreground in shade works nicely on that shot. The oystercatchers are also very nice. I thought of getting a picture of them, but didn't have the right lens and I didn't think that I would be able to get close enough. Cheers, Radar.

Re: Cotton wool.. and 2 black birds
I like how the lines in the sand draw you into the picture in this image. I would rate this 2nd. This shot, to me, is just the standard beach photo. Perhaps a different angle, from down near your knees might have given this a more interesting composition ?? IMO I would rate this 3rd. This image I definitely rate 1st. It is very nice indeed. The cloud formations are interesting to look at and the image makes the sky look huge (and brings emphasis to the clouds. Nice photo  I rate this one 4th as it doesn't do very much for me. I'd prefer to see a closer view or a more side on shot....but that's just me. Nice DOF though. Just my opinion.... Dave

Re: Cotton wool.. and 2 black birds
Absolutely agree! The sand (dune?) on the right kind of give the image a slightly "unbalanced" look though (if that's the correct description to use). May be it's just my eyes playing tricks on me. Perhaps they can be trimmed down a little?
