When one travels to Ocracoke Island, in the outer banks of NC, you must take a ferry. The boat is followed by a large group of Seagulls and becomes the perfect opportunity to get rid of the donuts in the car. We actually liked this one so much we framed it and its in the front room of the house! Enjoy!

You did very well with this one, John. It almost looks like that pair are carrying a conversation about right-of-way. This is a photograph that has high technical merit with only a hint of image motion. White, grays, and blues are beautifully intermingled for a pleasant feel. The only issue I have is purely subjective, and that is one of balance. Personally, I believe this very nice shot would look a tad better in a square format or even a vertical to lop of some of the excess bright white on the right. I'd proudly hang this on my wall, too. 7/10

It is a nicely exposed shot and a dramatic composition. In fact you did remarkably well with an against the sky shot. I've sent you an alternative option that recovers much more of the gulls tonal range. Don's remarks are accurate for this submission but the correction in tonal range makes the composition quite acceptable. It's unfortunate that Caedes doesn't have the facility to include a rework with the comments.

Great shot - One would want to keep their mouth closed and eyes covered when attempting one like this, I'm guessing ;)
