good focus on the gull..crop most of the right as it doesn't seem to do anything for the pic.

Thanks Frog

Crop from the right and someone else will say it's too centred
Another person will way it suits a square crop.

What stands out to me is the overexposure on the back of the neck/head
And the focus on the beak rather than the eye

I like the space for the bird to look into, I wouldn't crop it

The composition works,Pauls comments ring true.Lovely bokeh b.t.w.

Nice to see new people from the Bay Areasan jose represent !
Welcome to PR!

Thank you Paul and Rick
I agree about the overexposure. This bird was sitting on a deck rail about 4 ft from me trying to eat out of my wifes hand. He was moving fairly fast.Just glad i got the eye clear :lol:
