Flying High
One of the things we try to avoid when photographing is placing the subject to near the center of the composition. This is called setting on the bull’s eye. This makes the subject static and often creates a boring composition. Thats not to say it does not work sometimes but generaly its a good idea to avoid it.
The photographer has captured this seagull backlit so the wings are nicely highlighted during its glide through the thermals of air. It makes us think of how wonderful it would be to be able to sore with ease and see the rest of the world below.
I would like to suggest that the photographer place the subject off center to avoid the dreaded bull’s eye. This was a difficult exposure with the backlit subject. You will notice that some of the whites are blown out particularly around the bird’s head. This does not give us good definition for the animal’s features.
