The seagulls in winter park, a photo from Tokyo, Kanto

Photographer's Note

This photograph is taken in the park between Ukima park in Tokyo Itabashi-ku. I had gone to in the maker's service center for the receipt of the camera which repair finished on that day. After receiving a camera, I dropped in at the comparatively big park near this center. In the pond of the park, many waterfowls and sea gulls were resting the body. I walked along the promenade of a park for a while, and was observing the waterfowl. In the park, there were some families resting on the lawn and many those who are hanging down the fishing line. I was trying to return on the way home, after taking some pictures of the ducks, common coat, and seagulls in a pond from the promenade. Many seagulls had stopped at the handrail near the entrance of a park. Even if being close, it does not immediately escape. It will gather here, since there are those who give food. The park and the garden with a pond seem to be a suitable comfortable place for seagulls between winter.

Hello Mikio,
This is an excellent picture taken with expertise, blurring the background. Nice focussing and right exposure. Picture is very sharp, in natural colours. Well done.

Hi Mikio
Classic example of macro-closedup photography, nicely positioned of a clinical shot. Fabulous clarity, the detail is perfect of a lovely birds that looks excellent in the blurry background settings and particularly I admire the crispness and such splendid colors and touches of stunning red. You have captured the intimate moment in great precision. Congrats
Warm regards

Hi Mikio,
This is so cute! It looks like Japanese seagulls are cuter than Turkish ones. I love your use of selective focus. You must have very steady hands or a very effective image stabilizer (or a sturdy tripod).
Immaculately rendered!
Thanks,
