Nice blue sky. I think more open space in front of the seagull would be better. 6

The bird placed at this position in the frame while facing that direction adds visual tension to the image and makes me want to turn to see what's off to the left. Good use of colors and textures.

nicely done

Good pic. Needs better composition.

Nice deep blue sky. Good framing.

Minimalism with texture and nice colors! Great! 10

Does the sky and roof work together!

i like the tightly cropped roof

The seagull is a bit over exposed and a tad out of focus. A faster shutter speed would have helped this. good use for staying on topic though.

oh I love this one! on the roof in front of my window there is a pair of seagulls, with their nest and eggs (I'm waiting to see the newborn...) and I tried to do a picture like this, but the result was very poor, the roof is too far for my camera lenses and pixels :) I'm telling you this to explain my strong emotive response to this picture which makes me liking it very very much! on the technical side, I'm not an expert, but I think the colors are great, focus and definition are fine, the size of the bird compared to the whole picture is absolutely perfect, for me. 10! and good luck ;)

The empty sky does not add anything to the photograph. It would've been better is the seagull had been taking off into the emptiness of the sky.

*shrug*, doesn't do much for me, 3

Nice. I like the way you positioned the gull in such a way as to make us wonder what it's looking at.

I like this but maybe you could get him to turn his ass away from the camera ;)

it works for me 10

A difficult image to comment on really, it has simplicity and is minimal, but the elegance I associate with minimalism is lacking

Nice presentation. Technically sharp, focused, detailed, and processed without distracting artifacts. Nice clean sky. Love the color saturation.

I propose cropping the roof even tigher...just below the top tiles. Well done.
