One of my earliest photos---with Helle's 2MP point-and-shoot!
I don't know why I put a frame around it---I think I was making a print for my father, before he passed. This is Florida...
And, to show you how green I was, I was absolutely undone by those gulls! They kept getting in the way of my picture, and I wanted to scream! I kept shouting, "I'm shooting over here!!!" (I couldn't figure out how to deal with "motion": I thought the world was supposed to stand still when you shot, dammit. Drawings and paintings don't move: Why in the world would birds?) (I had a lot to learn about cameras back then...)
I spruced it up this morning, to give it more 'lift'.
Back for more comments tomorrow, and more writing as well...
Have a sweet night, and thanks for your wonderful comments---they mean the world to me!

Marvelous! The gulls really do make this special.

They look so close my friend, feels like Petaluma Cal, and the movie "The Birds". We have a good amount of gulls in co. But the blue Jays are the noisy ones and crows. I enjoy your shot. A flock of seagulls.
And always thanks for your awesome comments Mark.

So you thought the gulls ruined the shot? Boy, you really were a rookie. Well, serves you right for wearing that bread hat. What Mike said.

I think this is great! The motion of the gulls flying by just makes this shot! A most wonderful photo, Mark.

Ha! The only thing that is wrong with this photo is, you were not suppose to take such a cool shot with such an old 2mp Camera LOL! I really really love the motion in this. The dynamic life and still... the background stayed clear. LOL! I can see in my head how you reacted on the gulls. Just like Donald Duck on the Woody Woodpecker. I can even hear them sing BABABABABABABADIA ;D

I love seagulls, they are pests, but they're so pretty. the birds in this shot MAKE the whole photo come alive. it feels like I'm a part of their flock!

I love how the gulls have given your beautiful capture just that little extra and gosh they got so lovely and close to you. I can see how they would be annoying if you just wanted the quay but I think they have added a great focal point to make this a top capture. :)

I like the fact the focus is beyond the birds for a change!

Yeah, those dang birds, but they sure add some motion to your foto!!

LOL! You're funny. :P Of course the gulls are the whole point of a shot like this. Anybody can take a picture of a dock! :P I would have clicked off a million frames as fast as I could and HOPED for something like this! Terrific image.
