Love the colour and look of the water. That gull is a contortionist, took me a while to see his head.

I like the lighting on the water, the bird looks a bit over sharpened IMO

This looks over processed and unnatural to me.

Crisp, crisp focus. However-the saturation (or lighting) is a bit much which adds to the colors almost merging together between the whites of the water and the whites of the bird making it a bit complex.

Contrast is too high and maybe a hiar over saturated.

A very graceful turn of the wing and gorgeous water.

Reflections are distracting,but maybe this could not be helped.
