Fantastic how you got the great diagonal in there. And the gull just seems so perfectly lit.

The seagull is practically glowing. Great use of natural light (and ps) to get such an unusual effect. The diagonal composition works well for this.

I love how the bird's coloring matches the sticks. Such lovely composition and lines.

The b/w conversion is nice, the position should say angle of piles sets this off nicely.
The Gull stands out glowingly:)..

Yep, it appears to be an old pier. You may just see it again during the month.

Amazing for bright sunlight! You should share the original and the post processing steps, since a lot of us end up shooting in bright sunlight and it might come in handy. Nicely composed, great tones.

I love the textures of the timber and the seagull look just right perched on top of one of the pylons.

The glow on the seagull works well here! I like all those different shapes of the timber.

This is beautiful on many levels. Love the angle of the broken wood, the softness of the processing and the B&W conversion.
