Seagulls remind me of what it is to be an Australian :)
Enzo,
Thanks for your comment on my Beach Entry and thought I would return the favor. Congrats on your top 30 finish and great score! i love the depth of field on this photo. My only suggestion, which is one more of personal taste than technicals would be a slightly tighter crop, cropping out some of the left side and top, so that by using the rule of thirds, the birds eye is right at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical, but thats just me. Congrats again on the score and thanks for the comment.

Great job! I loved the tonal aspect to this whole photograph, with the greys being predominant in the foreground and background, allowing the bird to blend in and stand out at the same time. The clarity in the bird is awesome. I'm not giving this as high as I'd like to because this could equally be on a city street as a beach, so in my opinion, it does not clearly meet the challenge, although I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. I don't think that meeting the theme of the challenge should be left to guesswork, there should be some element in the photo to at least hint of the theme, and this one doesn't. Other than that, I'm giving it a 7 because it is still a nice shot!
Gorgeous. I love the detail in the feet and colors in the wing and beak, like the bar and background being the same color and the gradient of the background (except Right back)3rd bird a little distracting.
