Ditto on the sparkle. I also like the placement of the subject in the frame. The "motion" in the image is right to left, and both the bear and the bird are collaborating in it. Good clarity on the subject and foreground while leaving the background out entirely.
I am sorry to hear this is the last one of the series. You captures have all been fascinating. For me, you saved the best for last. I love everything about this composition. Rich dark background. Great mist capture. From all that rough powerful play to this. It's time to relax, but if I were that seagull, I sure wouldn't turn my back! ;o favs.
This is excellent!! I love how the big ol' bear is "posing' and then there is the tiny little seabird...a lovely scene and a wonderful photo..thank you so much. Verena
