Breaking rules..., a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Someone told me today, that, when we fly there are no rules, only horizons.

So different. I love the color. If I understand well this seagull was on the water and just flew away, that's whay we still see the place where he was on the water and all those droplets falling. Great capture. I would see it with the complete reflection if possible or without any reflection at all.

A good minimalist approach. I like how you cropped the wing reflection and how sharp the bird is. DOF is perfect. Good work.

Very well caught and an interesting shot from the composition point of view. I like this muddy background as a product of the reflection of the clouds.
I would try cutting off the bird's reflection totally as this would place the main subject more off middle/centre and enhance the composition. Also, if you see my workshop - I tried to remove graininess, so it's not that distractive.
Good job, Silvia!

A very good caption, Silvia. It's touch-and-go in a split of a second. I believe he/she has come down and passing by, just dropped the beak into the water, catching that spotted fish. I believe I can spot the fish in the beak, right! Nice light on the tail and flying drops of water adds to the movement in the picture. Well done!
But I agree on robiuk's workshop, cropping out the mirrored wing.

And, as an Air Traffic Controller, I have to disappoint you - there are a lot of rules when flying!

This is beautiful, a truly amazing composition. I love its dynamism and the freedom idea it transmits... Pity the water wasn’t blue there ;-)

Silvia, like ever, you touch.
Great image, very good captured and difficult too. Sometimes, I saw the same, but taken on bak, the bird starts to fly and made three circles on the water. Like yours, congratulations.

Que dizer quando uma imagem destas se faz acompanhar destas palavras...acho que não podia ser mais adequado. Fabuloso trabalho Silvia
