it's a nice shot, but it's really noisy. a lower ISO would have done the trick to reduce the noise (but it's not always possible to shoot with a lower ISO huh?)

Stunning photo! I would desaturate the colors of the background; they distract from the main image. Everything else is perfect. The weathered wood and the muted colors of the bird are splendid. Very nice!
very nice except for the exceptionally noisy background. usually a result of oversaturation, but the rest doesn't look that way, so i'm not sure. the colour in the background is great, and punctuates the month nicely, but the noise is quite distracting.
the rest is great. nice shallow depth, crisp focus, nice positioning of the gull within the frame. i can just hear the sounds: "mine! mine! mine!" (sorry - Finding Nemo reference; how can you tell i have a four-year old?)
Nice composition. Love the exposure, focus and use of grain here. A wonderfully timed shot and eloquentlycropped. I would have liked to see the wing tips extending just shy of vertical center to keep the "I am bird therefore I fly" feel. Perfect callandar shot. 8.
