Thanks, Pitmatic. I found that when I cropped to include all of the boat, the gulls got lost a bit. Agree about the background – not ideal but if I changed my pov to reduce the background clutter, I found that the angle of the boat was all wrong. Must try converting to B&W and see how it looks. Appreciate the comments.
Hi Fergus.
I agree about the cropping of the boat & background being distracting but can understand how the gulls would be lost if you included the whole boat. If space allowed, move back further & use a longer telephoto lens with the aperture open. This way you could include more of the boat & keep the gulls fairly large. It would also help to blur the background.
The boat is a good subject for a re-visit (don’t know if the gulls will co-operate for this though). :D
