pure dancing

a seagulls dance..
as a perfect moment.. as a perfect armony..
a dream that enchants you..
that takes you forever..
as something to hold with you.. everyday after..
the light.. the sunlight.. the sunset..
your entire sigh.. overfilled..
everything for an instant becomes a magic spell..
intense and immobile..
mid air.. and untouchable..
;))

on the Cape Bonifacio.. Corse
this unusual scene.. at sunset..
with a man and this flock of seagulls..
an instant to catch... ;))

Evanescence is my choice..

comments and critics are welcome..


have a nice WE..

Ciao Marco,
It's sure, they dance!!! It's surely your presence which makes them dance! Splendid moment that you have taken. With the music we can imagine them fly away. Have a nice week-end too.
Ciao Didi

Hi Marco,
The flying birds made the scene dynamic ... wonderfully captured. Good control of lighting with details still visible in spite the high contrast. Well done! tfs

Bonjourno Marco
A very lovely capture especially without lens flare. Did you use a lens hood?
Great eye and patience waiting to get get those gulls in position to block out part of the hard sun rays.
Dot
I watched the sun going down with those same colors and decided against it, as I was sure I would mess it up.

Excellent mood in here, Marco. The gulls are magnificent birds imo; very gracious in their flight, they are as agile as fighter planes. But hey, don't you know looking into the sun can be quite dangerous, especially when zoomed in? ;o))
At first I didn't like the gull that was blown out because of the sun behind it. But after a couple more looks, it seems to fit...

Ma se linki evanescence soccombono tutti! :-)))
Bello scatto, particolarmente "moody"!
Una cortesia: come faccio ad inserire più categorie quando posto una foto che, ad esempio, potrebbe rientrare sia in portrait che in mood o decisive moment?

Grazie in anticipo per la risposta!

Ciao, e TFS!
Antonella

Hello Marco,
Seagulls, they are elegant birds... And always hungry it seems like, hehehe!
This is a pleasant composition, strange effect from the strong backlight...
A fine composition with good division of the frame!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Ciao Marco :)

Très joli ballet de goélands ! Ils semblent heureux dans ce rayon de soleil, toutes ailes déployées. Comme une danse aérienne qu'ils t'offraient ce soir-là :)
Tu en as de la chance !
Evanescence ! J'adore cette chanson, bien connue sur les ondes françaises depuis quelques années déjà, merci :)
Ciao Marco

Hi Marco,
various flying styles are interesting in the light and shadow situation, as an photo image.
seagulls are two types, one is away from human, and the other is near the human. perhaps their foods separate their living style and fate. this is like crows. white seagulls and black crows is competing near the human...
thank you for your nice shot,
Akihisa

Hello Marco
Interesting backlight effect, nice colors and good point of view. I would have trid to crop some disturbing elements though.
Serge

Dancing with the sky. Nice composition. I like very much this song.

hi Marco

Perhaps the OE part is a little too glaring or strong, although it could be intentional in your shot. Always a matter of personal preference here. The rest of the photo is great, especially the spread out wings in flight.
