What a moment to capture by your camera's lens! Awesome mist surrounding the subjects. The size of the bird and nearness to the man in the boat is startling! Is the bird an "Albatross?" This picture startles me yet calms me. It is a photo that stirs my emotions. voted :) T

An interesting and eye catching capture. A shot that has instant impact and reaction on first glance. For general viewing and from the public perception view point, its a great picture that every one would like but realistically, a few seconds later the truth starts to emerge. Although the boat-rider is interestingly seems to be looking towards and to seagull but in fact he is not. The bird in front is an addition and super imposed and is out of proportion in comparison to other live subjects appeared in the shot. Nice try, great idea but needed more thought and work during edit and planning for final presentation.
