this is pretty slick! It feels like the Seagull is on top of my screen (very 3D). I lie the subtle colors of the water and fish with the vibrant seagull.
The unorthodox border is driving me nuts, but the shot is sensational. Great perspective, and the bird looking away while the fish swims under him is priceless. A bit "noisy" for the water, but it almost works to underscore the clarity of the bird.
