Should let it go black.

Beautiful bird in flight image. Small niggle is the top of his wing just touching the frame. A little more space on top would have been great.

I like the idea of this pic, I think I'd dig the comp more if the empty space were in front of it rather than behind it.

Really nice, and a fitting title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 09:23:14 AM
To bad the rest of his wing is missing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

oh what a shame that the right wing is touching the picture from abouve and at the end fo the left wing it looks like there's a spot on the chip...
but still six coz I like it much
;D brano

Good idea, but it's cropped a bit too close on top, where the wing touches the edge. It also seems a little too magenta tinged, though it may be due to the actual sky color. I'd like to see more detail in the bird.

I think I liked it better when their was some light on the bird. And of course the bird should be free from the upper edge.

Awesome capture and presentation. Gorgeous.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

photograph would look better if bird was framed right
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:49:00 PM
the bird is too dark
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Darn! I wish the tip of that wing were there... But, still.. it's a beautiful image.

the colors are really interesting, but, I think, either the wings are in the crop or both are on the edge, jmo

Nice pastels, wish the wing wasn't cut off.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 05:46:12 AM
strong statement in these hues.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I just changed my score on this. I originally didn't care for it but it grew on me the second time around. I like the colors. I wish the top wing hadn't been cropped out (or so close to the top). I would have scored a higher if the head was seen (or silhouetted) also.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice color and comp. Love the translucent tail feathers. That smudge at the left wing tip needs some attention.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:41:33 PM
the silhoutte did not quite work here, the missing profile of the gull's head hurt this image unfortunately.5

Maybe move the bird to the other side of the scene?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:51:07 AM
Nice composition, I like the soft coloring as well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:13:41 AM
I think I would prefer this photo if the wing wasn't clipped.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:23:02 AM
Wonderful flying bird with the soft purple colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:15:05 AM
I know too well the frustrations of bird photography, potentially a great shot but lacking in detail and too near the exit edge of the frame
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 03:12:37 AM
Would have liked to see a bit more sky above the top wing for balance but the sky color is just superb.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 02:12:36 AM
I like the composition, really gives a sense of flying without a care
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:40:55 PM
Nice idea, but the chopped wing leaves this one tense and distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:31:50 PM
I like the way the light is shining through the tail feathers.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:02:26 PM
Very zen and peaceful. The angle of the wings and the placement of the bird in the frame is great. The soft lines of the clouds make a very interesting background. I like this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:21:43 AM
Beautiful background!!!! Would have been nice to see the tip of the other wing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:38:44 AM
Good pic but average
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:28:07 AM
Not the best composition. Poor lighting. A little drab to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:10:31 PM
Beautiful capture and colours, shame about the crop at the top.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:09:27 PM
Nice purple-ish backdrop and use of negative space.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:20:01 PM
great soft colors...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:56:30 PM
Nice colors and comp.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:39:44 PM
It's a shame it's cropped quite so tight on the left wing, otherwise the colours make a nice backdrop. Is that a dust spot or part of the clouds below the right wing?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:18:36 PM
Very nice colors. I kinda wish the wing wasn't cut off though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:43:10 PM
I like the composition and the use of negative space.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:13:44 PM
nice shot, too bad the wing got cut a little.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:11:58 AM
Lovely capture, colors are calm and peaceful. Just missing the tip of that top wing though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:11:25 AM
I think I would like this one a little better if the tip of the wing weren't clipped. Beautiful colour though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:27:04 AM
great title, beautiful image, love the color of the sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:52:15 AM
The sky in this shot has a nice, soft, pastel quality to it. Nicely done.,
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:02:57 AM
Really nice. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:33:36 AM
Nicely composed.

not defined enough I worry
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:01:30 AM
looks a little flat not much detail
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I can just see this now on one of those religious cards with scripture... I still like it : )

A shame that the crop was too tight
