Nice balance between darks and lights here Matt. Good documentary shot.

Nice shot of this gull, Matt. I like the shallow surf, the wave in the background, and the little splash around his legs.

Nice look at this Gull, Matt! The OOF wave and water make a nice bg.

Excellent job on the exposure of the Gull, Matt, and I like the angle you got. If this were mine, I think I'd remove some of the more distracting specular highlights in the wave behind the bird.
