It must be really confusing to the gulls when webbed feet meet the ice that is normally liquid. A beautiful photograph, Sharon.

The way I see things is, if humans can go ice skating then why can't birds? I like the diagonal line, makes for a good composition.

On ouvre tous nos ailes, pour tenir en équilibre sur le sol bleu et glacé de ces matins d'hiver ...

To walk down that pillow of angel feathers is such a sweet dream... Love the blue icy tones here and the dynamic pace we can feel between mom & daughter almost purchasing seagulls... An air of early morning, as if right out of bed and pillow*

Perfect composition. The diagonal and the silhouettes emphasize the composition. Cold color. Beautiful image.

Very nice tonality. If you don't feel cold looking at this, you aren't paying attention!

I like this so much . . the sky-lit scene with the sliver of sunlight and the expanse of ice . . and the hungry birds a'waiting.

Very atmospheric. The blue adds nicely to the chilliness of the image. Well done, as usual!

Is that a ray of light at the edge, even angels take their fur coats out in icy blue times.
9 Jan 2009 2:57am
@JoeB: Yes, that is a ray of light. It was a bright sunny day (cold!) and I caught these two in the shadows.
Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada
Lovely shot - I enjoy the echo of bird's wings in the form of the woman on the right.

Strong angles (angels?). The graphic element seems to be coming towards, while the figures are moving away. The tension is held while the birds stand on the water - frozen. So many anomolies.

Beautiful. We can feel the cold in this shot. I love it.

i keep coming back to look at this one. that little patch of sunlight on the path gives this wonderful image just a bit extra.

It's the posture of the center figure, I think, and the blue, that makes this affective.
