Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I really like this shot. The composition is excellent, the subject is fun, and the lines created by the road and the poles as they recede are very nice.

really, my only complaint would be the fact that the red seems very oversaturated. I like that the saturation is increased, but it almost looks fake.
you may want to consider cropping off of the right up until just past the car, so that the road hits the edge of the frame, which may give it a slightly more interesting perspective by making the road look even longer.

I like how the reds on the bird and the backdrop are the same. I'd of cropped a bit more of the right side off

hehe I like it. if I might say, the birds feet look almost too vibrant. It might be totally natural, just an observation. 7 :0)

I thought the bird was fake at first glance! Crazy lighting! I like it.

The first thing I see in this photo is some weird looking red legs, like the bird was cut and pasted there but then I notice the bird on the pole down the line. The red just seems too hot, oversaturated or sharpened. Neat capture however.

The bird looks fake. The houses in the back are distracting, it'd be better if it was blurred.

think taken from visual left a bit more would have helped considerably

Is that seagull photo edited in there??? because he really doesn't look like he was really there in the first place.
