Spooked

Didn't have time to go to the beach and run shouting and snapping through a flock of seagulls, so breaking up a parking lot pigeon party will have to do.

[Mary More]

This is so neat!!! Great shot, Brad. If I recall correctly, the city dump had as many if not more seagulls than the beach there. =)

[Malena]

LOL! Way cool theme shot!!! :)

[Shawnanne]

Lol-I love it!! The blur of the wings is perfect.

[brett currie]

and i ran, i ran so far away...
this shot looks like you ruined their fun--but you got a great 'action' shot out of it!

[Carolyn R]

LOL - Where are the parking lot pigeon police when you need them! Thank goodness you were there! Great action shot!

[Dorrena Ortega]

Nice picture.Good motion for the theme.

[Jennifer Loftin]

Meanie butt! Awesome action shot - that is hilarious you had to adjust the plan for the beach to the parking lot. That makes me laugh! I love this shot. It is quite good with their feathers all ruffled. Cute!

[Ira]

Love it!
(I'd say it screams for a b/w processing!)

[Autumn Eden]

Great shot! "parking lot pigeon party" made me laugh! You have a way with words, my friend! Party Pooper leapt to my mind but the mental image is just too much! LOL

[Karen Hofmann]

LOL!! What a great idea! I have this evening off so I'm going to specifically try and find some action shots to take. Very cool, Brad!

[Tracy Watkins]

Great shot!

[Fiona Kierans Dunne]

hahaha! Really cool shot Brad. :)

[Carol Mitchell]

great idea, love the action in this too :) Action Jackson :)

[Angie Reeves]

Seagulls can be vicious, it is a good thing you stayed away:))) Love the action of the shot!

[Della]

excellent action shot!! :)

[Nicole Stone]

You could have at least given them a party platter as they parted ways..sheehs! ;)
Great action shot!

[FaerieMoon]

How could you, Brad? lol This turned out fabulous--nice job

[Lori Rompolski]

lol, party pooper!

[brett currie]

thanks for the comment on my 'portrait' post--sorry to be dense, but do you mean that i've cropped it too close on top? like i need space above his hair? surely that's what 'headroom' means, but i just want to be sure! (:
i really appreciate you taking time to make suggestions for me.
oh, and please tell me that you 'got' my flock of seagulls reference. i made an ET reference on someone's shot the other day and felt like a totally old woman. was the 80s really THAT long ago?!! (:

[Brad Johnson]

Per Ira's suggestion, here's the black & white: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bradsworld/4948841824/in/set-72157624732338627

[Henriette Sparkes]

Great shot Brad...perhaps you can do the seagull thing later this week :-)

[Rachel Dickerson]

LOL. Looks like you had more fun than they did. : )

[Louise & Ken]

:-)

The person who came up with this action shot idea obviously had a motion picture in mind...Nice work, Alfred!

[Kelly f Fala]

very cool and perfect for the theme!!

[bernadette mcelligott]

Haha very cleverly done.

[taleweaver]

hahaha! equally fun :)
turned out pretty nice :)

[Kiley]

Oh how I hate these guys. They have a perverse pleasure in "decorating" my car whilst I slave over my computer every day....

[Rick Schies]

They will go anywhere won't they?

[Lois P]

Good action shot!

[Vicky G]

Haha, this is great! I bet you had a fun time scaring those little guys.

[Joe Ciras]

Thank you and nice action.

[Rebbecca Castillo]

hehehe- nice shot, its great for the theme!

[BRAD]

Cut ! Print ! Great job guys. Take ten, lol.
Great shot Brad :)

[cglist]

Oh wow! Now THAT'S action!!!! Terrific!

[Louise & Ken]

Looking back through the comments, I read yours about "Now what do we do"...and saw for the first time the hands-on-hips of every one of them! That's pretty funny!

[Sydney B]

Nice action shot. :-D

[Bonnie McClendon]

something about this shot, don't know what it is, but I love it! :) wonderful capture!!!

[stephanie dp]

such a good idea and so beautifully captured!

[Jaydee]

interesting..... nice shot in action brad... =0

[sissybufu]

i love this picture! We got a hurricane a couple hundred miles off our coast right now and i was missing and concerned about the beach. seeing your pigeon pic made me miss it a little bit less.

[Ellen E]

oh my goodness - this is FANTASTIC. love the b/w also. Party on! (I soooo love pigeons. I don't care what anyone says. they have so much personality, and they really interact with you. Well, when they're not partying amongst themselves.)

[Kirsty .P]

Why go to the beach when you can get such great action in the carpark!!!

[Christine Fitzgerald]

YIKES! Spooked is the perfect title for this shot. How very Alfred Hitchcock of you. Great shot for the "action" theme Brad : )

[Darren Griffen]

Lol, Brad such a cool theme shot :-))

[❀Christina ❀]

Love it great theme pic

[Laerke Thorndal]

So cool - and awesome for the theme!

[Amanda Smith]

Thank you for recognizing Superman's cave! (It's called the Fortress of Solitude) I had hoped people would get the reference but you're the only one! Love all of the pigeon action above!

[Miriam S]

Great action shot. Fancy finding them at a parking lot.

[Brandy]

This would have sent me into a full on panic attack!!

[Slava]

hahaha!! i am loving it!! Your caption made me laugh!! Another great capture, Brad! ;-)

[hellcat]

Thank you. I suppose I should have done something special for it...but maybe getting caught is going to have to be good enough. Love these birds in motion/fright.

[JohnnyMitch]

Great action

[Ira]

Looooove it in b/w! :)

[Ryan]

ahhh! this reminds me of when I lived in Germany and used to chase the pigeons! hahaha aww man good times

[bonnie lee wilson]

I think this "will do" very, very nicely.

[Elle Steward]

Really neat!

[Kimberly Richards]

This is a really cool shot. congrats!

[D Jasek Parisi]
