VERY nice shot! I love the fact that the dog only has one paw on the sand, the rest in the air!
Action everywhere!

Beautiful picture, a lot of movement in the front and a wonderful fog in the far background, liked a lot, very evocative...

thanks,

I like the partial motion blur. Nice shot!

I like the low tones and black and white a lolt but the combination of the running dog and birds makes the forground a bit too crowded for my liking. Otherwise, a nice and atmospheric image.

very dynamic image! well done!

ignath · 06-15-2018, 08:17 AM

superb gray winter feeling.

Right spot, right time. Perfect dynamic.

Very nice scene. Interesting to see tourist sites when the sun ain't shining and the tourists aren't there.

Great action shot. B/W ideal for this one.. I do l ike the birds in various stages of flight. Nice

I think the good thing about this picture is the different almost abstract shapes of the two leftmost birds in flight and the dog. They imply lines (in the direction of movement) that create a nice "invisible" geometry to the picture, giving it a dynamic feel. At first I found it a pity that the animals are completely blacked out and hence lacking detail/texture, but on second thought that only helps this geometric aspect of the image.

I also think the picture would improve greatly with some cropping of the left part, probably to a 4:3 format. Apart from cutting out empty space that in this case only distracts from the motive, it would place the second bird from left center image, where it would nicely bisect the image with a slanted line (again implied). Possibly a 6:7 format cropping out the rightmost bird (2nd birdie from left still in center) would be even better, further distilling out the geometrical aspects and improving the composition.

Everything about this works for me...the action in the forground grabs my attention right away and then I am further drawn up to the boardwalk and the waves; and not in a distracting way. A very pleasing scene...thank you for sharing
