A nice moody shot. Not only the foreground works well, but the background is great too!

Nicely done. Of course I have particular admiration for seagulls as they are such wonderful aviators ...

Allthough you had to come quite close to this gull it seems very much at ease.

mmmmh, makes me want to switch places, this bird is very much at ease, nice "northern" colours as well! Maybe you should try to crop it a bit more central though, would make it even stronger I think.

Don't crop; I think the composition is fine as it is. I like the mood of this shot, the choppy sea and the silhouette of the island in the background, and especially the way the light has highlighted those two drops of water on the seagull's beak.
