Personally I believe that animals can be used as examples of personifications, but that was just my take on the challenge and obviously that was not the general idea of DPC voters. This is a cool photo and great idea. It reminds me of people standing around waiting for a table on a Friday night with those intense faces or even better those shopper in front of the store the day after Christmas. I really like the composition and coloring of this shot. I love that the birds are not overfilled with backgrounds or sky. The sand is prefect color and I don't see any trash, which in itself is awesome. I know it probably took the image this way on purpose, but I wish the foremost bird was a little more in focus. I think if people had been more accepting of the animals being able to personify you would have scored higher. Good job! |

| Personification occurs when inanimate objects are endowed with human qualities or represented as possessing human form or personality. For me, your photo of the birds, while somewhat interesting in their stance, does not meet the challenge as I understand it. Sorry. |

| Not sure where the personification comes in. Sorry if I'm missing the point. |

| Seems a little out of focus. A different title may have worked better - for example one that captures the identical "expressions" conveyed by the eyes. They look rather funny in what I see as nonchalance. |

| Sorry, I have to say that I'm not a big fan of this pic. I feel that the lighting is very strong, with a fairly bright area along the top of the image that is distracting for me. The gull along the left edge that has been cut off by the crop is also a distraction and leads the eye out of the photo, IMO. My personal preference would have been to have had a littl more DOF. I searched for quite some time to find the focused gulls. JMO. |
