Ok, I see you have brightened this just a bit and it does have a 'sunnier' and more cheerful look now...and as before, I still like the 'in your face' feel as if this seagull is heading right into my home...good work and once again a fave for me.
This brought a "Wow" out of my mouth as soon as it came up full screen. Love the Clarity and feeling of the shot. Like Mesmerized, the in your face shot really captures the moment for me.
