Hi all,

I took this in SFO beach.
Please tell me how many points it gets, I'd appreciate if you could tell me where all.



Thanks

Do you have a larger resolution version of the picture? The bird looks sharp and you've got a nice sky as well.

However I think the lower left corner is a little distracting. Perhaps include more of it to give context to the picture (right now it's chopped a little disconcertingly for me), or crop it off totally such that the focus is on the bird and the sky?

I agree with what Arctos said, I think the bird and the sky are great, but I find the lower left corner distracting. IMO, it's not adding anything to the photo. I would crop it to a horizontal (landscape) comp. placing the bird in lower left intersection of thirds lines, or just slightly left and down from the center (since the bird is flying up and to the right, you want to leave space in front of it).

Do you think the image is a little bland now?

Yeah, a bit!

I was thinking of a more tighter crop, smth. like this:
