Christian, First shot is pretty nice. I don't mind the washed out sky. The cropped tail is too bad, but doesn't ruin the image. I like that you are presented something a little different in a bird picture. The image almost gives me a feeling of being close to this bird, more like a pet or something.
The second one is good too, but doesn't grab me as much. I do appreciate you sharing your efforts. You provide inspiration and ideas for me that I am thankful for. Keep up the good work! -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, February 26, 2006, 4:05:34 PM, you wrote: C> 2 images from today for your review: C> http://photography2.skofteland.net:8080/displayimage.php?pos=-49 C> (no cropping; basically straight from the RAW conversion; a little web C> sharpening) C> Not quite - because I was trying for a nicely back-lit shot of a gull in C> flight but the sky is a bit washed out and the tail is cut off.
