Horizon views

I like the tanker on the horizon. This is a great rule of thirds composition.

Striking bird, and lovely angle in flight.The black bird is dramatic against the soft blues of the sea and sky.

Overall (In My Opinion) a lovely capture.

Very nice photo. The bird is in good focus but not completely silhouetted and the ship int he background adds a nice touch to what would otherwise probably not have enough interest. The depth of field adds nice distance to the shot and I like the fact that bird is flying partly in the direction of the viewer while the ship is moving away. That keeps the picture IMO from being too static.

Thank you, Gillian and Ron for your comments.

Great shot.
The bird exactly on the horizon makes the photo what it is.
I like the ship, but it is a little to close to the bird.
