    The landing tern is rather superb! Perfect wingspread, excellent details, and the whites look as they should. I like the low angle as well. The other bird is unfortunate IMO, and as posted I could also see a version with a bit less canvas below. Other than that this is a WOW from me!

    I would get rid of the oof bird in a second....
    Nice landing pose and nice exposure.
    I have to ask why?

    I agree with the crop. I could have taken some at the bottom.

    For me the second bird looks cool, so I choose to have it. Also after you post, I tried to remove the same and was not successful hence I leave it as it is.

    Great outstreched pose. The way the bird is just above the water is nice. I don't mind the composition and crop as is.

    A dynamic image Krishna. Excellent pose, detail and sharpness. I'm unsure about the oof bird...one minute I like it, the next I don't. I guess it competes with the main subject...my eye goes back and forth between them, so i think overall I'd lose it. TFS

    Terrific pose, details, exposure and water. Another vote for losing the second bird.

    Super whites and details well done. Re OOF gull, quick fix - if you take the clone tool and align on the LHS - same height it makes a half decent job of eliminating the gull, just play around for the most suited area. Content aware and patch don't work too well in this instance, I am sure though with patience any method would work.

    Great shot love the details on the wings and perfect whites. Agree with others about the second bird. For me I would break the bird down into four or more separate parts with the clone tool. TFS
