this is an interesting candid...not a portrait.

Bloody excellent shot! I'd like to see this in the top 20 (not that I've seen all the entries yet). The bird is a lucky addition to this photograph and the perspective, just MAKES it. Well done. 8

I am not sure that this qualifys as a portrait for me, but photowise it is not too bad. Needs work on the horizon line ( a litle skewed) a slightly different angle to maybe get the pillars almost looking like mirror images, may have given a better impression to me

although I like this as a candid shot, I like a portrait to give me some kind of look at the person...I cant tell anything at all about your model by looking at this

very neat. The seagull gives a great perspective.

Great angle, providential shot of the bird.

Comment by Konador:
I like this shot. I like the way the vertical line is parallel to the frame on the right, rather than in the centre like it usually is in these types of shots. It gives it something a bit more unique which is good. I think in post-processing you should have added a little more contrast as it seems a little flat at the moment. Its a shame that the bird isnt sharper. It's kinda the focal point, being on a 3rd line, and breaking the clear sky, but the fact that it is blurred spoils it unfortunatly.

See I was definitely right with the screaming on the bird. I love the way the rightmost line is parallel to the edge of the frame and the others all converge to that side of the frame too. The bird provides balance against the hard modern lines of the building. Good to get cloud texture in too.

The bird makes a great counterpoint to the building's lines. - 8
