we call 'em rats with wings. Sky is a little pixelating. Maybe oversaturated?

With the blue sky and yellow pole I would have framed the gulls in the upper left quadrant.

Colors are very nice. A much tighter shot is required here.

Great colour contrast. This one's crying out for a good cropping :-) I'd lose some of the blue either side and make it a more vertical composition.

Very effective - like the way you've left the subject alone in the pic. If the sky had any clouds in it, this wouldn't have worked but you've pulled it off. Good photography.

This picture would have had a lot more impact if the pole was moved more to the left or right instead of deadcenter. Good colors 6 Journey

Probably could have cropped a little closer. Birds are kind of far away with a bleak sky that makes for a lot of wasted space.

needs work on the composition. crop the photo and don't let the stick/birds be in the center of the photo. i think theres a bit too much blue sky in this. nice color contrast though.

With lots of cropping, I'd like this one lots more.

I like the clear bg with this photo, however the subject is very small. I would either zoom or get a bit closer next time.
