One of the reasons for (or coincidences of, I can't remember) of the composition is how closely the rough outline of the clouds match the shape of the gull.
I've made an enlarged and a distored overlay of the gull to show the effect.

Normally I wouldn't like the sky to look like this, but in this case it works. It kind of adds a quirky element to the photo with the centred birdy and the fence it's perched on, and who can forget that title, cute.
