Hello Gilad,

The preparedness of mind is very well shown by you here..a vertical shot and getting the total wingspan of the bird in the frame was difficult but very well executed by you...very good POV for this photograph..!!I like it very much.. thanks..!!

Regards,

Indro

Hi Gilad,
one could say: "just another shot of
a seagull..."
Unlike them, I think this one is very
poetic in its form and maybe technically
not the best shot I've seen, it still
makes me feel positively dizzy (because
of your selective focusing and POV).
Also, the compo is quite strong, which
helps a lot.
Cheers,
Robi

Hi Gilad,

excellent compo! The moment was very decisive and you could capture it in a very good POV. Great work!

Hi Gilad,

That is just great! Hahaha, it is that sharp on the bird that you can just imagine the bird's thoughts... "Why is that guy with the camera following me? Can't a bird just fly around these days?!" Hahaha.

Great compo you got. Really. The bird, the building, just filled as it should be. How many shots did you need to get this one. Canon 5D, that's 3 frames per second isn't it? ;-)

Greetings! Dennis

Not really America's eagle (or more casually a sh*t eagle) but it's extended wings are even as impressive, difficult to contral but good photos involve some luck, and you had loads of with the spreadout wings, the placement right into the sky blue part, also an appropriate and fast focus, (not exactly the 5D's forte, you'll agree).

Once you get this seagull position, you better run away fast, my friends : that's the first warning before it starts sh*tting on you, it can get even more agressive in a third step, litterally trying to kick you.

Hi Gilad,
Excellent POV, taking the seagull flying from bellow, this creates an excellent perspective with the building and the sky closing the scene. The colors are superb... Love it.
