I really liked the eye and the BG on this one. This was taken on the bridge at Bolsa Chica.

Hi Jeff,

As you said, the eye and background colors are great! Scrolling up and down I also found I like this with a smidgen off the top placing the gull's left wing in the upper RHC of the image.

I'll second Laura's crop sugestion. The BG in the lower 2/3rds is nice.

Laura's crop suggestion really strengthens the composition for me. Very well done!

Nice curves in the wings and boy that ring stands out well. Good exposure. I agree with you on the slight crop.
