About While I was sailing on the ferry, from the mainland to the island there were a lot of seagulls circling around the boat, diving into the water.... looking for food. Free as a bird... that's what I felt when I saw these birds. Enjoy.

Hello Diana,

Great shot ! The colours fit well together and I like the composition you chose. The nicely frozen movement of the water adds a lot. Excellent work, my compliments !

Wish you and yours all the best,
Albert Jacobs :)

Mooie foto! Knap om de meeuwen (en de golven eveneens) tijdens hun beweging vast te leggen. Jammer dat je de sluitertijd niet vermeld heb, die zou ik graag willen weten. Ik heb te vaak bewegingsonscherpte :-(

Hello Lori,
Thank you so much for your nice comments The blue columbines are my favorites too, and I have a little regret I had sold the painting, I miss it. But... I am busy finishing a new painting.

Diana.

Hi Diana,

I really like this photograph a lot. The movement in the choppy water, birds flying, it all works so well together!

Love the camera angle; especially like the fact that there is no horizon line. BEAUTIFUL!!

On another note, I just visited your website. Very nice paintings you do!! (and excellent photography)...If I had to pick a painting, I don't know which one it would be, so many of them I really like.

I especially liked the 'Blue Columbines'....but then the ones of the bottles are really awesome. And I liked the Ice Skater also!! You are so talented. You're watercolors have a very nice and unique style!!
Nice work, here and paintings also!

Lori :)

Diana, beautiful shot. The contrast of the white birds against the sea is great. Definately framable.

BTW, thanks for the nice comment on my light house shot. This is my #1 picture so far.

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for your comment. These birds were flying low over the water, looking for food. Sometimes they dive into the water... very nice to watch. It was difficult to "catch" them with my camera... they were so quick!
greetings,
Diana.

Jorg Reif   {K:16020} 9/10/2004
This picture entices me by its wonderfully subtle and narrow color scheme.This in addition is very well accentuated by the skillful framing, which conveys a sense of harmony by the photographer that is mirroring the harmony of the subject of the sea birds quietly and elegantly mastering their environment even when it appears rough to us.

I am not so happy with the composition, since the first gull (actually I think they are sea swallows) is looking away from the viewer and thus (emotionally) takes itself out of the picture. The other swallow is relatively small in the picture but visually has to compete with its (non participating)partner. My suggestion: (if you are not opposed to PS) clone out the first bird and then possibly crop (if possible) to give the right bird more presence. Just a suggestion: Good picture right now! Best regards Jorg

great feeling in the photo.
the sea looks majestic and almost unreal.
very good composition, and i can guess how difficult it is to compose one like this when things are moving about.
good job.
