They look so soft, I like the colors in this, that deep teal is one of my favorites.

Lovely minimal colors. Nice and sharp. Good work.

I do wish the foreground sand weren't so blurry... it's a bit distracting.

Very frameable. The white is a little burner out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 03:56:13 PM
Nice! Try despeckle filter on background; the noise takes away a little from the subject.

Nice soft shot. I like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I just love the tones in this. The triangle-like shape formed by the beak and head of the birds, and the color of the eyes matching the background. Just lovely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:55:52 AM
That looks like a blue footed boobie?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:35:45 AM
Lovely birds and great detail! the foreground at the very bottom is just a tad distracting for me for some reason.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:18:28 AM
great dof, nice composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:50:16 AM
Nice, the foreground does not do much for the picture so cropping have of it off would make a better picture. I like the contrast between the birds and the blue background. Good picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting subjects. The blue of the water makes a really nice background and offers some great contrast, causing your subjects to really stand out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:24:39 AM
very good focus. centered composition works here. overall slightly overexposed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:09:17 PM
So sweet. The background color is lovely. I wish there was a tad bit more contrast (although that could just be my uncalibrated monitor!) :)
