If they decide to fly...
#1

... run for cover. Big Grin I took these today and seeing how I haven't posting anything lately. I thought it was quite a large gathering.

I really like the simple geometry of #2 and #4.

Very cool Peto.

It would have been a bit of a tough scenario too with the water and jetty - its not like you could come at them from different angles or get closer to them without scaring them off.

I think the bird on top of the pole on the RHS of the first photo needs a starting pistol in its hand - the other birds look like they are lined up for a race! Wink

#1 and #2 are definate keepers. I feel like this is a scene from "The Birds". Any second they will fill the sky with a rush of wings and possibly malevolent intent...Anytime you see hige potential energy like this in a photo - the subtext is kinetic - what will happen "if they decide to fly...".

Looks like you've got your ducks lined up! Big Grin

I really like the compositions you've chosen.. the lines work really well and the symmetry of the poles, wooden dock and the birds all compliment each other. It's hard to pick a favourite .. i like them all. Big Grin

Thanks fella's. I don't really think there's every anything too exciting about seagulls but there was soooo many of them I just had to stop for a couple shots. Anyway, they did decide to fly and lucky for me they stayed over the river. That still didn't stop me from making a quick sprint to the truck. Big Grin

hey like these Peto, good series. Man they sure know how to take over. Next time take down some fries (chips) you will get some great action shots. It would be like a scene out of the movie birds..........:o
