I really like the mood of this photo and the composition and exposure are great. The only thing that would make it better is if you rotated it CCW just a little bit the level the horizon. Still one of my top 10.
small amount of rotation could have done a tiny bit ;)
I love the bird flying and the colors of the sky!
good job on sunset, stopped motion, and fauna!
This pic would be really great if the horizon was level.
The bird is a great compositional feature and the colors and exposure is very nice. The shoreline draws the eye across the frame ending up at the bird, which keeps the eye inside. Nice job, if only the horizon was at the good and natural perceived angle.
Just when I think the pictures can't possible get any better....then yours comes along!!!!! This has got to be one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen! A 10 from me.....I'd give you more if I could!! :)
Oh but this is too beautiful - it makes me dream of holidays and summer nights and romantic walks and all things wonderful. Ignoring that, since others might see loneliness here, depending on their viewpoints, it's a lovely image, nice focal point in the bird nad nice reflections of light and colour in the water. I like the wavy line of coloured water.

This really does look very tranquil and quite a content, passive looking scene - remote perhaps, but not at all desolate! A very nice shot and a good capture with excellent focus on the gull - aside from the challenge.
There is a weird slope on the horizon, and the lake/sea it seems. Colors are great, and the seagull is great. Also seems like there are some lines in the sky, where the colors change.
very nice photo.. but instead of desolation, it makes me feel comfortable.. :S
i think that it doesnt fit the challenge at all, but its a nice photo.. =)
