The gulls can't sit or recline, but they are resting for the evening. Hope this meets challenge rules. I tried for some closer shots, but when I did, I disturbed their rest and off they flew. This photo has minimum saturation and some sharpening. I tried the unsharp mask, and didn't like it, so changed it.
I know it's blurry, but don't know how to sharpen it and still have the blending that I want for the calming effect.

Thanks so much to everyone who voted for and commented on my photo. I'm taking the comments and suggestions seriously and appreciate the time each of you haven taken.
I didn't realize I'd made the top 10 when I first started this post! Yipee!!!! :) :) I just looked down at Sonifo's post and saw what she'd said. This is pretty exciting for me.
Uh oh, birds mounting an attack! I love the colors in this one. That gentle yet brilliant orange contrasted after a thick line with a prestine blue. The birds add a great subject. Just a thought though, the orange is rather expansive where the blue is very cut off. Maybe even out the space between them?
Super comp, colors and silhouettes...I'd knock off some of the right side and compensate at the top for just a suggested improvement....maybe? like it very much as just seems that the BG behind the fence on the right next to last gull distracts me a bit.
Nice! Shame the trees/ hill behind mean that one cant see silhouettes for all the birds in the row. Would moving around at all have helped with that? I like the image but more for the potential of what is almost a superb image.
looks good. some fill flash to bring out the details in the birds might be good, but you probably still wouldn't be able to see the ones at the back.... i like the way it was positioned as well. great shot!
Beautiful lineup of seagulls. The beautiful sunset in the background really helps to bring the birds out of the picture. The angle of the rails that you captured makes your eyes go from left to right and look at each bird. Great work.
The way the sky and the water contrast with each other is almost at rest on its own. I like how the birds are kinda organized, they look like they might just march off. Wonderful photo.
Nice Composision, however I think some forground lighting would help. I think I would try some diffused fill in flash from a low angle to bring out the birds a little more. Good work
