On golden pond indeed. Beautiful contrast created by the whites and grays of the gull against that backdrop.

Absolutely fantastic image. The way the swimming otter just breaks the surface of the otherwise perfectly still water has been captured beautifully.

Very, very nice and quite unusual. I like the way you chose to include the almost suburban background into the photo to great effect so creating a nice contrast between nature's tranquility and suburbia. The image shows how these 2 worlds so far apart can co-exist. The soft subdued colors are nice and almost give the impression of a oil painting.

Superlative shot of this gull and it is very effective in black and white. Love the way you got him as he was stretching. Indeed a pose like a dancer. Maybe you could have cropped just a little bit less tight on the left so that there would be a bit more space behind the wingtip. But that's a minor little niggle.

Exquisite capture. Only little niggle would be the intrusion of the bit of branch and leaf into the frame on the left hand side.
