A gull soars by the calving glacier at Glacier Bay national park, Alaska. This shot was actually taken by my daughter with my camera, since hers was out of memory (and much lower resolution)
I really like this. Color and composition are excellent. The only thing I don't like is the frame, but then I'm never big on borders that try to look like real 3D frames so it's just a personal preference.
This is a seriously wonderful picture. The only thing I can say that might be better is the lighting on the seagull. You might consider experimenting with the dodge tool in Photoshop. I personally don't like doing that for natural photos like your daughter's, so I would say that it is amazing as it stands. The gull is in exactly the right place. The composition is excellent. Your daughter has an amazing eye! This is a wonderful way to take advantage of the DOF of digital cameras.
This is a re-placement of an earlier message when I didn't quite click in on the method in the Comment Chain thread
hey shapiro
your daughters got a nice eye
The composition is nice and all that jazz, and I saw this a lot... But I think a little photoshopping could really bring some things out. For example, if you dodged the seagul a bit, it would really make the shot.
