........watch your heads!!! lol! Never have I seen so many birds and in this image they are quite sparse. I have photographs where they appear as huge clouds but are not really photographically beautiful, so they will stay in my Morocco folder. ....of course the birds are here because it is a fishing port and they know they will be well fed.

Looks like a scene from The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. Very cool image. I like the action and composition.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual. Edward Weston

This is a really fantastic photo with the gulls in flight and that structure is a great subject for this.

Wow...I sneaked up to the head of the line, where I don't deserve to be, because it's been so long since I commented on a pic of yours and I was instantly drawn to this one, my friend.

Great shot...how lucky you were to be at the right place at the right time.

Excellent perspective, composition and detail. I can almost smell the sea and hear the sounds of the gulls. A nice piece of work Patti.

I would guess you Morocco folder has white spots splattered about. Nice post and there are quite a flock of them. It is a good action shot Patti. Nice post.

Hard to imagine that this is a sparse viewing of the gulls. Great capture, Patti, against a timeless harbor view!

Wow, it really is like Hitchcock's 'The Birds.' Not a single blur here Patti, you must have done a fast exposure but it's still really well lit. Great comp on display even in a shot like this. I just hope you weren't wearing your wig ;-)
