[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This woman makes a living by taking photos for tourists around the beach, many of them hope have a photo with seagulls.You can see there is a plastic basquet hanging on her left arm and a camera in hand,she throws food in the air to attract these seagulls circle around her, and she must grasp the moment and takes photos quickly when those play-birds approach.Very busy!

Hi !

Nice colors and composition for this photo.
I like the light too with a very quick time of exposition without too much darkness. Well done because the we can fell the fog.

Hi Lunar,
This is a very elegant shot. The sepia tone is just right here, delivering a sense of melancolly.
I like the softness of the contrasts as well, accentuated by the the mist in background and enhanced by a good management of the DOF (blurry sand in the foreground).
Besides, you shot at the right time there, while the woman stretches her arm and birds are wings wide open. Great one, Congrats!
Pris.

Hello, Lunar--
Great work here, a very delicate exposure, holding in detail in the figure without losing all of the background detail, a nice composition with layers of birds, people, and buildings that fill out the frame well. It is also very well-timed, catching the figure in a dramatic position.
Thanks!

great shot indeed. I really like the pale (but sharp) tones of the background. I'd prefer an other placement for the character, so that we could see his face.
great picture however.
