Interesting shot. I like the subject and exposure. I think it could be even stronger if you included more image on the bottom. Maybe this wasn't possible but it seems like the crop is a little tight. 7

This made me smile, it's quite a comical shot and very well-taken.

Good composition, nice focus and a tick for the humour/unusual element.

Comment by CNovack:
Cheryl had just finished unpacking the dishware and went to take a break by stepping out to the porch. But before she opened the sliding glass door to hear the sound of the surf, she stopped stunned. She could not believe it. The realtor had told her that the previous home owner would feed and talk to this seabird that would walk up the porch steps every late afternoon. The old man had called him 'Charlie'. Because Cheryl had not seen any bird come walking up the deck for the three days she had been her, she believed the realtor had been pulling her leg. But there, climbing up the steps, was Charlie!

It is a really odd sight to see an animal, especially a wild animal, behave like a human-like fashion. Stairs that are reserved for people to walk up upon are being used by this bird! He looks like he is just casually walking up the steps after a stroll on the beach:-)
