gull on the wing

I would have a further play with it - say crop to just showing the bird and really turn up the contrast and colour for fun and see what flies out!

Thanks Stephen, good idea, it's taken straight from raw. I'll have a play around in lightroom and see what happens.

Don't think there's enough definition or even skill there to redeem this one, but fun it was.

Pure Poetry, IMHO. The Concept of Flying

I really like this and would definitely keep it... it might also be worth trying more of... there's a fair few togs in the growing Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) fraternity who'd be all over this...

superb abstract like creation ..

Am very encouraged by your comments, people. They give me encouragement to experiment. Wouldn't have tried this in the days of film!

I love this shot. Don't bin it. It borders on abstract and reality. If anything, take some similar shots and I'll look forward to seeing them.
Best wishes

Whenever I see motion blur I always think of chris friel

Your photograph is a great example of how blur works in this way. I don't understand the technicalities of digital ways to capture these images (me? use film only) but it would be great if you carried on experimenting more like this. This photograph is lovely.
