Shame it's out of focus. The subject is too centred in the composition for my taste. The beak ideally needs to contrast with the background... here half of it is lost against a wooden post. The arrangement of the posts in the frame seems haphazard and not balanced. I do like the sunset colours on the side of the two foreground posts though. 4
Nice capture. I like the lighting on both the water and the pillars, gives a good contrast of warm and cool tones. Fits the challenge fairly well in the 'all alone' aspect, not sure I feel loneliness or solitude though. I think if the other pillar were cropped out it would give it a boost in that direct. I wish the seagull was more in focus/sharper. Nice composition and a good photo. Well done. 6
The bird is blurry which makes him hard to see. Cropping off the piling at the right edge would have given a stronger feeling of loneliness, as would shooting from a lower angle to get more of the open ocean (assume there weren't any boats or other birds).
I like the idea, but I think the pillars in the background distract from the main subject. I also think some negative space on one side or the other would have given a greater sense of being alone.
