Seagull on Saltlake

[loose cannon]

Common bird, but the colour, pose, simplicity and light appealed to me.

The plain background suits it well.

Nice, I like that, especially the reflection, I wouldn't mind seeing a symmetric crop.

Thanks for the comment Greg

Cheers Tony. I tried a symmetric crop and it wasn't working for me, kinda looked a bit sterile if you know what I mean. Decided to place the bird low in the frame and slightly to the left to give it room to 'walk' into the frame.

With a simple image like this there are multiple options available and it all comes down to personal taste. There's no right or wrong really.

Very pleasant could look at that a few times. Bird looks as if it is out for a walk.

The simplicity works beautifully here Mick. Well done.

What appealed to you Mick is a reflection of what appealed to me as well.

Nice and simple,the mid stride capture makes it for me.

Yep, simple but striking.
