WELCOME BACK ! ! !

Looks like we both had a break!! Like this one. The balcony rails make a good leading set of lines. While the centrality isn't my cuppa joe . . . there's no real wy to crop to change it. The best alternative in such a situation (in my opinion, humble yet genius though it may be - LoL!) is to try to get the focal bird (great clarity BTW) into its own quadrant . . . example attached (shocker, eh?)!

It's a very cool shot, my friend . . . and it's more cool that it means you're back. Luckily the comments here make it clear better than I could how you've been missed. :)

Warm Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Hi Joe !!!!!!!!

Thank YOu for Your wonderful comment my friend ! I am so happy to be back and never wanted to leave- my old computer died - I have a new one to work with and a new photo program which is taking me a looooooooong time to learn . My old one was a Dell ME so much has changed since then.

I have much to catch up on so please have patience with me - the title of this image was meant for the bird tho NOT ME - lol ...

All the Best,
Michele~

Great to see you back Michele. You have returned with a superb image too. The railings leading diagonally in to the seagull, the other seagulls flying around in the background with the surf and dramatic sky are all great stuff. You've even worked in the relevance of your absence and indecision as to stay very nicely. I think you should stay.
All the best,
Joe
