Gulls battling in the wind

while I was trying to get some photos of them on the beach.

Here I used a bit of Adamski effect which I actually prefer to ICM.

Nicely done

What a very intriguing image - i like your effect and I also like the various activities seen in the birds...

Until I saw your note about the gulls battling in the wind I was thinking what a serene scene it was. Love the pastel hues.

Nice Adamski effect. I had a play with Adamski photos today and I will post them in a few days time

I thought that was ice at first and then realised it was sand

This does let us see the subject to the photo much better than ICM. It’s a terrific capture.

This is really cool. To me, in spite of the very realistic birds, it has kind of an abstract feel. Love the colors.
