Like the fact everything is in a vertical plane here Juan and you have that lovely eye visible. Perhaps a slight drop in exposure will bring just a tad more depth back into the subjects head?

Thank you for viewing and commenting Steve. I tried the exposure reduction, but was not pleased with the results. I tried white neutralizer on the background, I hope it looks better.

Very nice! I always seem to neglect gulls, but this shows they can be worthy subjects with some creativity. Nice shot! I like the repost a little better.
