 I caught this seagull flying around the lake while I was waiting for the eclipse last week. I actually cloned out 3 or 4 geese that were in the background. Channel Mixer to desaturate, crop, levels, quick mask on seagull to brighten separately, usm, border. I think thats the Spatter Frame Action plus a canvas extension.

I like the composition! I get the feel he is getting ready to turn your way.

Well done for getting this shot, I'm sure it was not easy to get the seagull in focus. Bit late for the bird challenge, but I bet it would have done rather well.

Very nice "stop action" shot. B&w works well here.

It took a lot of effort to produce this image. I like it.
LoL, I have also done the comment instead of notes thing, and there is no way to get rid of the comment. It happens when I get too tired to focus on what I am doing.

Seems you're in the "border mood"! The seagull fits in very well! As said, the speed is well captured here.

Great capture. I like the sense of speed here and the bird's eye focusing on his intended destination.

Channel Mixer to desaturate, Levels, quick mask to select seagull and brighten separately, usm, border. I think that's the Spatter Frame action plus a canvas extension.

Whoops. This was intended for the notes.
