Description

Golden sunset on the Oregon Coast north of Yachats sets a Sea Gull aflame as he prepares to take flight.

I have received comments that the border and logo font I used for this image doesn't do it justice and detracts from it's appeal. I take these comments and suggestions seriously, yet at the same time, realize that they are opinions of a few individuals that may or may not reflect the opinions of many more. I'm certain that for all those that don't like my choices, there are those that do. I aim to please, but I let my conscience be my guide. To this end, I am supplying a second version targeted to those that don't like this version but I'm keeping this one for those that do.

Honestly I love this shot, usually I would say something along the lines of how I would wish to see the entire bird, however I think in this shot, you have an exception to the rule here.

The light is just brilliant, I really love the exposure in this, it has a great sunset softness about it, the detail is VERY nice.

About the only suggestions I have are this---

Change your font in your watermark, that font face is God awful and VERY dated, secondly, kill the border. No one uses colored borders and they give a downright amateur feel to any photography. Go solid white or black, these are the stand-bye's if you must use one. The last thing you want is your framing to compete with the photography, and that certainly is happening here.

Overall a GREAT capture, well taken and well shot. You sho0uld be proud!
