Hi Christine and welcome aboard. I like this shot as gulls are whole ton of fun to photo. Your choice in composition is interesting and fun. The only issue is the softness of the photo. Consider setting your camera to shutter priority, speed up your shutter,and then try the burst of 5 frames. You will likely get sharper images with birds. I also like to use my flash when relatively close. I had the S5000 knowing, when adjusted properly, it can produce wonderful results.

Hey Neil. I think this is an excellent shot. The distribution of the colors, though random, is balanced. I also like that you have kept it moreso on the darker side rather than bright and "gleeful". It makes the shot alot more reflective. Overall, I like the photo. I like how you have structured the frame though I think the black is too wide. Come to think of it, why do we always use black in the first place. The white inner border is a good call. Consider having the outer border as continuation of the shot and making it darker that the rest of the image and keeping the white. Just a thought.

This is silky and very tasteful. I do not know what compelled you to use the light in the way you did but you made a damn good call. It accentuates the subject and does not disrupt the softness of the image. Good luck!

I cannot say that I like this image appeals to my taste but I have to recognize that you have portrayed it very well. It is disturbing and appears bloodied simply by your choice of using red ribbon as binding. Technically it is excellent and deserves credit for what it is. Good luck!

Well done. You have woven the tones well into the forlorn theme of this shot. Slightly too much burning along the back but overall one of the stronger images in this challenge. Good luck!
