A lovely beach scene but I wish the birds were easier to see.

this is more of a landscape or seascape with a hint of birds somewhere. The birds themselves are not in focus and really add nothing to the theme of the picture.

More beach than subject.

A nice enough landscape, though the birds are so small that they are not really the subject.

This shot is also way more compressed than it needed to be. At only 82k, you could have used a lot less JPEG compression and probably gotten more detail into the shot.

Sweet! Nice way to sneak an awesome land/seascape into the challenge. :-) I do like the ghosted gulls.

Absolutely love this. The idea, the execution, everything. Captures the fleeting-ness of birds and speaks to the larger theme of life as fleeting.

bird? are there birds?
Ahh, I have to look twice. - It's a nice pic, but the birds are so small and they also look out of focus
