Really love the spacing of the gulls from densely gathered to single gulls. And how they line up in a row parallel to the horizon ~ With all their unique posturing. A lovely serene quality in your photograph @countrygirl Resteemed.🦋
Thank you for such an in depth review @allyinspirit! It was a unique opportunity, that's for sure. The were all lined up waiting for me! But seriously they were hanging out on a sand dune - I got a couple of shots then they got spooked. I found from photographing birds that they react to the click of the camera even if it's quiet.
Pleasure @countrygirl. Photography sometimes demands that we be 'quieter' than we usually are ~ To see situations and respond to them, not just quickly but as quietly as possible. And even then those gulls must have been so sensitive.
I love those special times when we are virtually 'given' an image to capture like this one.
Most of the beaches close to me are surf beaches and sometimes I long for those beaches with never ending shallows and sand-bars. They have such a mystical quality. 🦋
You have a creative and poetical way with words. I can tell you take time to observe your surroundings and find those things that quiet the soul.
I wish I could write such lovely in-depth descriptions of the photos! :)
😊 I'm striving to simplify ~ Just always seems to evade me. 😊
Haha 😁
Well, you subtly used all the gradients in the gray scale while maintaining the integrity of the monochrome - that's subtle and hard to do. Hope others appreciate that. You had all your gulls in a row on this shoot :)
Thank you for your encouragement!
:)
beautiful photo where the gulls are part of the landscape's defining lines. Very subtle
Thank you @cicero. I liked it too because of the linear clean feel. It actually looks better in black and white than in color because it was a misty day and the colors were washed out.

Thank you @viktor.phuket!
Sublime image @countrygirl ; Love the composition in the image as well. Cheers and all the best through out the challenge.
Thanks @harshameghadri. I appreciate your comments and observations.
Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.
Very kind of you to say, thank you!
it's true?????
is what true?
I think the person meant is it real or Photoshopped? I can say for a fact that your photos are the least photoshopped I've seen on here.
Oh maybe, I'm not sure. I don't photoshop that much, no.
you don't

That's a very interesting composition and it works very well.... all those horizontal lines!
