Comment by Crisik:
great candid. stuff in the upper left is a bit distracting and may be a lighter color would add some contrast (?), but the mood is captured perfectly

The subject detail and composition are quite impressive. I think the hanging branches at the top left do not add any thing to the this image and they take away from the desolation of the background which adds, for me, to the depression of the image. Damn fine otherwise.

could be a bit brighter, and would be better without the branches on the left, but otherwise a great shot.

If it wasn't for the tree on the left, this would be a perfect shot.

I just love this shot, The gull looks really depressed, and lonely. The colours , lighting, DOF etc are all just perfect, Deserves a place in the top three.

I like the composition and the colors. The soft background works very well with the colors of the bird.

Lovely contrast/sharpness/color, just hope it was a bit brighter.

Great capture, it really looks like he is depressed and lonely. Those branches in the upper corner on the left hand side distract a bit IMHO, but this is an excellent shot nevertheless.

This is so sad. No, I know its not really, but your toning, composition, POV, DOF all work with the title to give the image the emotion I think you were looking for. I can actually believe this bird is depressed and lonely. If only more people would see the relationship of a good title and an image that goes with it! 10. Very well done.
