I like the positioning of the gull within the frame, Dan. And the fact it is looking down (perhaps for food) is different and a plus, in my view. You may be able to lighten the shadows a bit in post processing. Nicely done.

Fully agree with Ron. Can add it is tuff obtaining a shadow free image, you did set up with a good sun angle but wings blocked light.

Only some wing positions will be shadows free with the light available. For other wing positions will need sun lower in horizon or shooting over a reflecting surface like sand. Opening shadows will work but might end with mushy looking shadows

Some good points already raised on what is already a very nice image, Dan.
