Very nice photograph. Good sharp focus and the bg colors are beautiful. One thing I would like better would
be to not have the sun in the left side and just the colors of the sky. The sun tends to pull my eye
from the gull. Just my opinion. I also like the repetition of the lines in the gulls wings, guess we have
mother nature to thank for that along with you eye. I like the photo a lot.

Lovely colours Fabs, and the gull certainly stands out nicely. Well captured.

Beautiful light and great wing position Fabs with lovely color, I may agree with the URC being a little distractful but love the image as is and of course with it were mine.

This is very cool! I like the composition, pose and sun in the BG. Maybe a slightly higher color temperature?

[Doug Brown]

I like the concept, but to my eye the bird has a flashed look that doesn't blend well with the beautiful sunset.

[Fabs Forns]

Thank you guys. I have others without the sun, but you know me, I like unusual :)
Thanks for your repost, Peter, very nice.
I find the flashed birds against a sunset are an acquired taste ;)
