As a fan of gulls I'm liking it! Nice resting pose, with the eye open to keep you in check. Good whites, good details. Perhaps a bit tight above and right, but I like the portrait you were going for.
Joseph, lovely portrait and comp. Is there a possibility to work on the eye to accentuate the pupil a touch, or is the entire eye so dark?
Well done, keep 'em coming.
