Nice image and composition. The colors don't look "real" to me, maybe it was overprocessed? Well nice job anyway. 6

Amazing colors and capture of the bird its silhouette just about perfectly placed in the diagonal stream of lighit. This almost looks like multiple exposure with the dark orange color on the left. The horizon of that area is in exact line with the remainder of the image.....Just cannot imagine how you accomplished it. That said, it does detract a bit the glory of the image and think that you might have cropped in left and presented the remainder in a portrait orientation. The exposure is so great and the compostion is as well.

are you kidding me? did you collaborate with god on this one? "ok, god...you direct the seagull to the perch, and just as he crosses by open up the clouds and allow a shaft of light through...okay? ....go!"

anyway, neat shot. it's near perfect...perfect would include the seagull being in the shaft of light as well as the perch. they're both sooooo close, which is sometimes a negative because it makes me want to see it in a slightly different way. also, one last thing...i really feel that the bottom should be cropped a little more. it would give you the more conventional aspect ratio, but more importantly, my eye wouldn't be lead out of the photo - right now it goes from the shaft of light, to the seagull, over to the perch and then follows the light down and out of the frame. if you crop up to the third "wave" from the bottom, my eye will go from the shaft of light, to the seagull, to the perch/light on the water and back around the frame. i hope i'm making at least a little bit of sense..just a little.
anyway, great work, nice patience! beautiful. i think you get a 9, 10 with the right crop.
