This is another early digital but one I still rather like.
Picture is of 2 Red-billed Gulls on an early spring morning in October 2006.
Canon S2IS. 1/2500 A F7.1. Minus 1/3 EV.
Focal Length 72mm

I like the courtship behavior you have captured here, the sharpness, and the good exposure. The image would be better if you had photographed them fram as low an angle as possible instead of from above. I don't mind the centered framing in this image at all.
The colors are really nice. Pose is excellent. Agree that with the symetry of the subjects, centering is not a problem. The raised foot of the front one is just icing...!! Might, if you are so inclined, do something about the twig sticking out of the water pointing at the front subject's tail. Beautiful species..!
