Nice pose and BG with nice perch textures, Kerry. Image looks a bit on the blue side - have tried a slightly warmed version - not sure how that suits the reality of the moment. Must confess to not being a huge fan of the embossed effect on the edges and copyright text. Eye really pops - did you do any selective work to achieve that?

One of the better poses for a perched gull, like the BG too. Nice details albeit a bit soft, suspect is the effect of zoom + TC. Agree with Tony about emboss.

Kerry, Nice pose and details. Tony's repost is good - it seems to warm it up a bit. I like the perch-seems fitting for a seagull.
I too like the perch but feel there should be a little more of it showing. I am OK with the OP. Congrats Sir! :) My only other tip would be to up your ISO to gain another stop of shutter speed?
