Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

edged out the bird, crop out a section of the background, enlarged and applied motion blur and used it as the background.

Hi

Thanks everyone. Not really a lake - more like a big pond. It's near the entrance.

Does the lake at fountain gate have a fountain as well? :)

I like what you did in PS Arthur. It sets the image off quite well.

Really nice. Really nice. I bet we have exclusively some of the best shots of seagulls around on here. Seriously, JordanP's seagull entry for the 2nd comp was one of the more unanimous winners. This is a winner too. Thanks for posting such a wicked shot. Any chance we could see the original?

Edit, Hey, I've got a thousand posts. Hmm, this could be a bad thing.

just one thing that SORTA bothers me is the wing is a little too close to being cropped...very borderline.

can you bump the image back a bit?

Seagulls! reminds me of a nasty trick we used to do as young, bored kids. You buy a metre length of airplane rubber from the hobby shop and 2 small garfish from a fish shop. You tie a fish onto each end of the rubber and throw it to the seagulls. A gull will grab one fish and another gull will grab the second and off they go, wheeling and spinning....the rubber streching and stretching....until....well, it's a hilarious spectacle.
Regards

Nicely done Arthur, both the bird and the background.

Mic, the wedge tail is probably one of the more common birds in my part of the world. Plenty of smaller birds of prey. No pics, so looks like I am going to have to get out a bit more. I am getting sick of photographing people and events anyway. Time to do something just for myself. Now where did I put that tele.....

Matt, you were a sadistic child!! :D Well, I imagined it... and had a good laugh!

Cheers
