I really like it, but I have to say, I almost wish that the gull didn't quite dominate the frame so much. I might have liked to see a bit more of the seascape - even if it is OOF, it might work, I think. No matter, it's still a lovely photo. Love the back-lighting on the bird, and the great mood suggested by the clouds in the background. Beautiful. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
