 After submitting then viewing on my work monitor I almost pulled this submission as the bird is so dark. Still, I don't mind the shot and I'm hoping for some comments for that 'continual improvement'. I'm guessing this will get somewhere around the 5.0 mark. (My guesses are usually about 0.5 too generous)

the backlighting of the wings makes the shot

I love the ethereal feel. I somehow wish that the bird's face wasn't in shadow, but the image is lovely.

while the timing and composition of the shot is well done, I don't think this shot was ever going to work as you are taking a shot in a high contrast area. With so much reflected sunlight you will never get the right exposure for the gull.
