Good capture of light, but I feel it might have been done with a touch more care. The composition is fine, and the balance of the direct and reflected light is as good as could be wished for, but there's a sense of a tilt to the image - real or imagined, it's enough to upset the eye, and there's a sense of lack of detail in some areas without the single area of perfect sharpness to make a point.

One of my favorites in this challenge. So serene and quietly warm.

Reminds me of a Jack The Ripper movie! Nicely captured but it feels slightly 'leaning' to me.

I have a feeling I would have liked this better in color, also I don´t find thie vantage point of the bird the best, I would have preferred to be looking it straight on and not be ogling it´s butt :)

I like the perspective and feeling of movement. However, I don't feel the bird is sharp enough to stand on its own as subject.

Cute idea - only annoying thing is the tree on the bottom, which I'm sure you would have edited out if it hadn't been basic.

IMHO this shot would be stronger if the bird were flying at you ... I also think that a tighter crop would work better ...

Seagulls eat worms? I thought they just ate french fries, chips, and bread handouts! :D Nice positioning of the gull in your frame. Minor bummer about the tree bottom left. Good luck.
