Hello Josep,

An amazing place and a stunning composition!
The birds seem to be so well organized, I notice most of them sit in the same direction hehehe...
The bird leaving and the surf add life to the scene!

Greetings,

a strange point of view... I think the shot is more interesting because of it. The downward, vertigo inducing angle with the geometric shapes the birds are making... I like it very much.

Hello Mariani.
This one made me laugh. You were at the right time and in the right place for this photo. Great symmetric composition of the land of seagulls. Wonder why they all sit in the same direction. The waves gives the photo life and you can really imagine how it sounds.
Good natural colours and it's also sharp and clear.
Thanks for sharing and for a great laugh.

Regards
Per

Hello Mariani,
The birds make a very beautiful pattern on this triangle rock. I find this a spectacular view.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Mariani,
This is a very unique and interesting view! I really like your presentation, having the triangle fill up the lower third of the frame, and following the point to the water. These birds are great! They are all so uniform, and it creates a nice pattern. :-)

Hello Mariani

This is a very interesting shot. love the composition, without enlarging the photo, i had no idea it was actually birds!
The picture could very easily be overexposed due to all the white, but its not.
great shot!
