 Shot from my Grandmother's balcony. I brilliantly forgot to change the ISO, which had previously been set high for shooting a dark concert. Despeckle, levels and gaussian blur on the background. Despeckle and sharpen on the bird with a bit of extra saturation on the yellows to make the beak pop out a bit more.

The composition is very nice. I think the gull is probably a little too out of focus. Hope this feedback is helpful :)

8. The image is wonderful and the dark blue water creates a nice background. The bird just seems slightly blurry.
