I love this, it makes me ache for home in ways I can't really explain. Pulls me in and leaves me wistfully soaring with the birds, excellent job.

Edit to add: Not that I am from your part of the world, but that I grew up living on water and spent years of time sitting at the end of a dock like this one writing and swimming and drawing...

Nice shot and very peaceful. I really like how the birds are blurry showing motion. Great job.

I like this one very much, very good composition and the gray tones are very good - you can feel the force of nature, heaven and earth

A beautiful shot..not a DPC jump out at you kind, but a look and linger shot. Nice work.

Awesome! Not always the rules of thirds is the best the choice, and this is an example! I can imagine this on a calendar, it would be great! :)

Beautifully done. The score shows me this is seriously underappreciated...

I didn't know this was your image...the image is strong..I like the line of the dock leading your eye directly into the middle of the image, also the b&w gives it a simplicity of message. You were wise also to use a slow shutter speed to allow the gulls to suggest flying birds; perhaps they are the spirits.

Well, I still don't like the border too much but I completely disagree with the rule of thirds idea. The power of the composition lies in its current placement. Should have score higher...

Rather calming shot. With the bright light in the background, I'm surprised the shutter was opened long enough for any motion blur.
