Interesting image Dan. The layered composition with sky, grass, rocks, water, rock and water keeps my eye moving around the image. I like that you have several different birds and one in flight. Well done.

Hi Dan, lots of interest in this image and nice to see something different with a variety of bird species. The only thing that I dont like are the rocks in the background but that is pretty subjective :)... thanks for sharing

Hey stranger, cool looking frame. Nice overall scene and I like the two species seen together and the Cormie in flight adds to the image. Nice looking birdscape Dan

Of all the bird images on the board right now...this easily gives the best sense of place. I like your composition.

I love the title you chose. I also appreciate that you mention the gulls as I would have missed them as Dave seemingly has. Great sense of place indeed. Perhaps lightening the very darkest blacks would be good.
