Bird Near the Sea!

This bird is near the sea and I'm really happy with the picture. If you look closely, the bird is walking away from the viewer. Thanks for your comments!

Focus is off - should be on gull's eye.

Consider your position on the telescope thing at the left. Are you trying to include it in the composition? Exclude it? You're kind of waffling between the two right now, as it's in the edge of the frame and cut off.

Sorry, but in the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES specifically state: "Do not use the forum as your image gallery, post only the best of the best and link to the rest."
This means we allow 2 attachments by the OP per thread, OR 8 embedded (linked) images, OR a combination of 2 attachments + 6 embedded (linked) images, totaling 8 per thread. (Maximum 1024 pixels on any side.) You can always just post a link to more, though, or better yet, post a link to a gallery so we don't have to click on each image link.
Some exceptions are group threads, like "Show Me...", "Post your best...", equipment reviews, Tutorials, etc.
You may add a few additional photos if requested, but only in a reply to other member's post and request.

It is OOF, horizon is slanted, not enough contrast for me.Agree with the composition as well.

even in edit, you can see the focus is off.but seagulls are everywhere, lol.they can be re-photographed!

No saving this one. Sorry. The B&W conversion added some terrible CA to that thing on the left side of the frame and there's a halo around the bird. Trash bin.
