OK, the first thing my eyes are drawn to is the seagull.. Its a nice candid and all, but not really working for me as a portrait. 5

quite a flast BW conversion. The 3 differences in height work well, but I am not getting the title. Nice candid but shame they are looking into the sun and squinting. 5

Do you always purposely shoot for the brown ribbon? if so then its getting a bit tiresome. On the other hand if you really are trying, then you may need to improve your photographic technique a bit.
for example, you shot this on an OK camera, instead of bumping up the ISO so you can hand hold, stick the camera on a tripod, or rest it on a post/bag etc and use the lowest ISO possible but with a longer shutter speed so the shot doesnt need any `noise removal` afterwards. Also, go easy on the sharpening tools, you have a habit of being a bit too agressive with the sharpness slider.
Then again, if you are intentionally shooting for a low score the carry on as you were..

Now thats what I call art.. fantastic image, nice to see a decent score getting the blue for a change, a lot of recent blue ribbons have been for images scoring below 7 (I am guilty as charged on that rap).

great score for a great image by a great photographer.. nice one!
