To be honest I think this is a bit of a stretch for the challenge. In my opinion, the image doesn't convey what your title claims which frankly is just conjecture on your part.

That said I don't take off 60-70% just because I think something is DNMC so I still rated this based primarily on your photo's merits which in general are ok but not exemplary. The lighting, color and composition do just enough to present the subject but nothing about them is taken to the next level if you know what I mean.

Hmmm. It sort of might meet the challenge. The gulls seems to be a bit fuzzy, though. Maybe a higher shutter speed would have done better.

I think a little less DOF to reduce background distraction would have worked better

Other than the title I don't really see "Circle" conveyed in the image.

Good idea, but would be better for the challenge if the birds were in a circle.

nice capture, looks a bit like the "missing gull formation".

I am no photo expert so my comments are based on how I feel about you picture, I hope they are usefull.

I like what you have tried to here. The circle of Gulls seem to fall nicely with the cloud formation behind them and that works well.
