Hmm, water drops tell a story but the gull ends up dead center. Was there some room on the right that could be left in? Also looks soft to me.

Excellent timing to catch bird, fish and water drop in a nice pattern.
Another option for a crop is to a more pano look with a bird not quite centred.
I agree that a bit more sharpening could be applied.
