Seagul in brighton beach

A very appealing photo, with the horizon and sun perfectly centered - well composed. I also like the diagonal coastline, and how we can see some of the beach and the city.

The HDR is effective - not overdone, while bringing out details and contrasts in the sea, sky and sand.

The seagull itself - this looks good, but I would like it to take up more of the frame, although I know this is difficult to time. It is impressive that you have managed to light up the seagull despite its being between you and the sun.

Keep up the good work, =rorymac666
