Technically a good photo. Especially the nice lighting. However, I don't think you conveyed the challenge very good. You portrayed a bird and not the Jersey shore as suggested by the title. -stephan
I'll trade you for the ones that roam all over the CA coastline. :-) On a more Serious note: The picture is sharp & has good DOF. It is a good picture, but for me the artistic value is not that appealing.
Good Gull shot. It's really hard to get them to face you when pointing the camera, isn't it? I really like the focus here and the way you have shown the detail in feathers and the shine of the eye. He actually looks a little preturbed. =10 syamjonimi ;'-D
