This is a beauty. I thought I commented on this earlier. The bird, sky and reflection of light off the water -- it all combines for an awesome image. Nice job.

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!

(Voted earlier)

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. I find the POV staggeringly effective and really enjoy the eclectic composition - I suppose this was chosen for you given the position of your subject but nonetheless I enjoy its uneasy balance.

2. The juxtaposition of the gull and people on the platform works so well - not only does it give the image depth but it sets a broader context that conjures a richer spectrum of imaginary (associated) sounds.

3. I really pleased you went for black and white here, I don't think colour would be nearly so effective.

Overall, it makes me want to be there. Enough said.

Sheer curtains moving in the breeze. Creative presentation. Effective natural lighting. Maybe a touch too much creative glamour glow, but that's probably just me.

i gave this a 4, the glow or the blur really isnt to my liking, theres only a slight hind of wind and it holds no interest to me, the back of a young mans legs thats it, whys he there whats he looking for, i need my thoughts provoking and theres no detail to entice me, nothing to look at, i can take the entire pic in in seconds.
