 Will be interesting to see how this is received at DPC. Very successful over at 500px where it made the popular gallery and, as of today (8th August), is standing at 89.9, which surprised me a lot.

Love your composition! The cropped and cornered gull, top left, says so much.

Good use of leading lines. Works well in black & white.

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 8s - I like it. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Made me start humming The Cure's 'Love Cats'. "Into the sea, you and me..."

2. Great use of perspective.

3. Lovely conversion.

4. The inclusion of the bird top left offer wonderful visual resonance given your title.

5. The slightly graininess of the sky.

6. The bare legs despite the seemingly grey sky.

7. The Britishness of the scene.

Overall, a perfect summer moment.
