Lone gull by orangecrush

Lone gull

Here is my #2 shot of naked week. how bad do I want to edit this! I used a slow shutter speed to smooth out the waves. I love how it makes the waves look like mist! And how nice of that seagull to sit still for the 8 sec my shutter was open!
2 down 5 to go!
wow great shot
October 20th, 2011  
Wow!!! That was very nice of him to sit still!
This looks beautiful!!!!
October 20th, 2011  
Oh wow! I agree with Cheyenne! Very beautiful!!
October 20th, 2011  
Wonderful photo. This would make a great poster.
October 20th, 2011  
I saw the thumbnail and thought it had been edited! It's just the beautiful effect of the slow shutter speed. Beautiful! I'm joining in your week of nakedness, starting today :)
October 20th, 2011  
Absolutely awesome!!!!
October 20th, 2011

Amazing!! I can only dream of achieving a fraction of this aided by the best processing software out there - this is just fabulous!!
October 20th, 2011  
love this fav!!
October 20th, 2011  
This is so gorgeous!! I can't believe it's sooc!! I'm jealous of the amazingness!!

No edit is needed for this photo in any way. In seeing how your mind works, it would be interesting to read what one edit you would make if you could to each of these photos. I

know if I had to follow the rule and this was mine I would actually crop out the sky because the water and rocks is such perfection.
October 20th, 2011  
@brumbe - Paula that be a cool suggestion. But Jerry this is an awesome photo. You got great skills to get it this good sooc!
October 20th, 2011  
Wow, is all I have to say! :D
October 20th, 2011  
Your photo takes me to another place. What a great job of capturing a "bird" moment and portraying a sense of solitude.
October 20th, 2011  
Beautiful
October 20th, 2011  
Jerry, beautiful as usual.
October 20th, 2011

October 20th, 2011  
Wow. Gorgeous.
October 20th, 2011  
Fabulous Jerry just fabulous:)
October 20th, 2011  
Editing shmediting....you don't need no stinkin' editing!
October 20th, 2011  
Awesome shot, I love water shots like this, I can't wait until I get my nd filter so I can try some too :)
October 20th, 2011  
great photo, no editing is needed
October 20th, 2011  
This does not need editing, it's just beautiful naked!! I love the misty looking waves too:)
October 20th, 2011  
for not being able to edit this is still soooo sick! I have been wanting to do a shot like this for a long time! gotta love that 7D eh?? hahah
October 20th, 2011  
that's worked out well, love the way the waves look with slow shutter speeds - and the colour contrasts of the the rocks against the sea

(slow shutter speeds is another non-option for me! I so wish)
October 20th, 2011  
..there you go mate.. proof here that its about who's behind the lens not the box of tricks.. nice one.
