This photo is really very nice! Very sharp and the blue color is deep and beautiful. I like the seagulls in flight on this photo too. I have a couple of seagulls in flight photos as well, they are on TrekNature site.

Bonjour Raluca,
très opportuniste et le point de vue est jucisieux, on voit que les mouettes attendent ce qui peut sortir éventuellement des remous du bateau.
Best regards
Daniel.

très bon cadrage, photo réussie, bravo

Compozitie si fotografie de nota 10, Raluca. Culori perfecte, excelent surprinse valurile, iar acesti perscarusi parca te urmaresc ...sau mai bine zis iti tin companie in acea croaziera.Felicitari
Numai bine

Hi Raluca
Very nice picture !!
I specially like the seagulls at different levels, that help to give depth to the perspective.
Also I like the diagonal division of the photo in two parts: the white foam and the dark blue water.
Congratulations

Hi Raluca.
Well seen and nice capture. The composition and that diagonal and the photo work very well, as also do the seagulls.

Thanks for share.

Bonsoir Raluca,
Je me suis arrêté sur cette très belle composition où les mouettes sur fond de mer et de vagues formées par les hélices du bateau prennent une dimension étonnante.
Très belle réussite Raluca.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Te plimbi ceva nu gluma! :))))
Composition on diagonal, dynamic; we can feel the wave moving before our eyes; the flight well captured, the formation of the seagulls well composed; deep marine blue-green, very powerfull.
Congratulations!
Bebe

Simplu shi eficient! Super.....

I love the 50/50 combo dedicated to the wave action vs. the untouched waters. The flight of the birds is crisp and clear against the watery depths below as well. Nice shooting! (no pun intented)

Hola Raluca, I like this image, am one compo very pleasant with good details like the line in diagonal of the waves and the gulls on a the sea.

Congratulations and a greeting.

Browsing your gallery, this picture inmediately called my attention. It's a magnificent work, many diverse elements converged here to make a great shot.

Deep blue sea half of the picture, while the other you got this nice stella from the boat... And taken in diagonal makes the picture dynamic!

Then you have the seagulls, flying at different altitudes, so surreal.

You could have the sea taken out the picture or the seagulls taken off the picture, and you still have a powerful and poetic view.

This one made into my favorites. Hope to ever have the chance to shoot something like this!

Wooww Raluca, fantastico angulo alto com a diagonal forte cortando a foto com as belas aves dando o toque de arte.

Hi Raluca, this is an excellent image. Like all truly good photos (in my opinion anyway!) it's simple and uncomplicated. By focusing on the bare essentials - seagulls and breaking surf - you've managed to capture the essence of Greece and the Mediterranean. Bravo!

interesant

Hey Raluca,

This one is a great photograph, the seagulls and the waves created by the propellors in the dark green sea is a perfect PoV. My guess is the name of the photo should have been "Follow the Leader" :-)

Thanks so much for sharing,
HIRAK

Buna compozitie! "Trena" lasata de vapor si pescarusii...Culorile naturale si interesanta compozitia pe diagonala...Ochi de artist...

Hi Raluca
wow, beautiful colors and POV, I like the crop with only water, and the many seagulls have been captured wonderfully. The different postures of them and different positions is very nice.
Good job

Amazing how simple elements of composition can make a photograph so beautiful.
This is very very simple, but wonderful!
Congratulations!

Bonjour Raluca,
magnifique photo avec un POV superbe au-dessus de ces mouettes. J'aime la diagonale créée par l'écume des vagues. Un très joli format carré pour mettre en valeur cette compo. Bravo
Xavier

Hi Raluca! Incredibil de reusita aceasta poza (de fapt am atasat-o in favoritele mele, deja)! Ce sa mai comentez: fantastic de clara si niste culori splendide. Salutari! Lili

Hi Raluca,

My best wishes,

Hi Raluca
I like this image. Very nice picture !!

Greetings,
Eva

*thanks for your comment

I like the way the image is bisected diagonally by the wake of the boat. Excellent capture of the flying gulls with a shutter speed fast enough to freeze the motion.
Kath

I've always loved 1:1 ratio crops...the diagonal lines of the wake and birds makes the shot...great job
