very nice sabatier effect. the sky is wonderful, well done indeed.
Thank you for your comment. As so often is the case, the shots I like the most don't go down well at dpc. It will not stop me from submitting them. Getting a ribbon or being close is of course a thrill, that goes without saying.
I'm not sure what you were going for here with the post-processing, but I must confess that I don't like the end result. The composition is strong, but the weird outline/glow effect just doesn't work for me. Ssorry.
It looks like you have good detail in the flying gull but I find your processing to be very strange. It's like the birds are cut and pasted ont the background.
I suspect this is also quite good in its more natural version - the electric treatment of the tree limb is kinda nifty but perhaps a bit much for this particular site. I do like the way it outlines the closer gull.
Not really sure what to say on this one. the gulls in motion is a great capture, it looks all rather fake though with all the processing that has been done. You may well have been going for that look, you have done a good job.
