 From the album - The Wall
I went to a bird sanctuary, where I tried to catch birds in flight. I chose this image as the bird is moving away from the viewer, and is looking down towards the ground. You get the feeling that you are looking with it.

Processing- I converted from RAW and then converted to B/W using a Nikon Photoshop B/W filter and slightly tweaked levels

I have a feeling I would have liked this better in color, also I don´t find thie vantage point of the bird the best, I would have preferred to be looking it straight on and not be ogling it´s butt :)

I like the perspective and feeling of movement. However, I don't feel the bird is sharp enough to stand on its own as subject.

Cute idea - only annoying thing is the tree on the bottom, which I'm sure you would have edited out if it hadn't been basic.

IMHO this shot would be stronger if the bird were flying at you ... I also think that a tighter crop would work better ...

Seagulls eat worms? I thought they just ate french fries, chips, and bread handouts! :D Nice positioning of the gull in your frame. Minor bummer about the tree bottom left. Good luck.

This is well framed. I think it's a pity that the bird is heading away rather than toward the camera tho.

I dunno what's the magic, but this picture is really fascinating. 10, whatever this is about.
