Hello Paul
Superb focus on this one giving a real sense of depth to the photo. Im not sure if going wider and bringing in more of the sea would be better or cropping down and losing the left hand third of the picture would improve it or not..but as it is its another superb shot that is detailed and sharp exactly where it should be.
Tfs and best best regards
Paul

Hello Paul,
Amazing capture of these gulls at the edge of the steep rock. The light is wonderful and so are the colours. Great sharpness and beautiful diagonal lines on the rocks. And the glimpse of the sea on the left complete this great shot!
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

You give some real height and depth to their perch. Having more than my share of fear of heights, I can feel the rocks as they crunch and slip away under me. Great perspective.

Hi Paul,
I like the way the focus is concentrated in the rh corner....with the background fading back giving a sense of scale and distance...

Hello Paul,
I like this composition: the diagonal strata in the limestone cliffs homing in onto the high lighted Herring Gull pair on the clifftop in the FG.
No, it 's fine as it is.
TFS and have anice weekend,
Ivan

It's amazing where some birds dare to nest and rear thier chicks! A great shot of these two gulls.
+++ Excellent wide crop to show thier positioning and habitat. Sharp. Great DOF.
--- Nothing ;)
Well done,
Joe

This is really super!
The shallow dof keeps our eyes on the subject while giving us the perfect Bg for the capture.
Wonderful posting

Excelente Paul !! El buen ángulo de disparo utilizado permite ver la grandiosidad de los acantilados. Has destacado bien claramente el motivo principal con un "clavado" enfoque. Naturalidad en los colores y una excelente luz.

Hi Paul,
Still no shot from your 170-500 lens? When can we expect one? The idea of the shallow DOF and the selective focus conbined with the long focus is great. It looses the depth feeling, but adds the feeling of isolation. Paul does have a good point on the sea. Do like the clarity and sharpness you managed to capture.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Paul
This is such an awesome shot for showing the environment these gulls are in with them giving perspective to the sheer depth of the cliffs.
Great composition using both gulls and cliffs to set off each element. Perfect sharpness and detail on the gulls and ledge with a wonderful DOF, shallow but not to much, on the cliffs. Superb exposure and lighting.
For me, I would crop off the left side, as you don't need the bright patch of blue sea to show depth to the cliffs, you have already captured that and the bright left side keeps grabbing at the eye. That is only my preference though.
It is an awesome image, well done
Kathleen

I love the crisp clarity of the birds with good colour. Then there's the backround that's slightly out of focus to contrast. Very nice.
