It looks like he's pondering. Good use of the rule of thirds. I like the natural lighting as well.

May have been more effective to exclude the other bird in the background.

Good, crisp, clear focus. Nice composition. It just lacks the wow. 6

I think this could be a bit sharper and the flat lighting lacks any drama.

Very good composition, could be a bit brighter with a bit more contrast. Good job though.

Nice seagull photo, I think on these simpler images using the rule of 3rds will result in a higher score (from personal experience).

Simple shot. Wish it was processed a bit heavier. As it is it has a bit of a flat feeling to it.
