My only problem with it is that the horizon is not straight otherwise a great shot.

I thought about straighten the horizon but I thought it took away from the "action" of the picture...so I left it as it is...

I would have straighten the horizon and cropped out the boat on the right.

gpinto said 836 days ago:

... i mean left...

Interesting. The form of the bird and the moment before impact is somewhat compelling. But the bit of boat on the left is distracting, and the bird as the main subject seems too small in the frame. As to relevance, this doesn't say much to me. What is decisive about this, other than you, the photographer, had to be decisive about when to click the shutter? There's not much that speaks to humanity, which, as I see it, Bresson was after.
