Chris: Well seen! Simple but to me really interesting to see the birds on the tops of the poles and the reflections of the ones on the water. Made me curious to see what this was all about and a delight to view. >=))>

Those seagulls really posed for you. What don’t you like about the fog in the middle? I don’t see any obvious issues.

Well seen and well executed. A very nice, simple, soft and almost monochrome image. The gulls are great.
The fog is right for me, I don’t see any issues.

Chris, this is a very pleasant scene, that I’m enjoying at least partly because I it makes me want to holler GOAL!!! and raise my arms. The gulls, of course, make the scene.

As soon as I looked at this picture I thought “Rugby”; that means it works for me.

Seriously, nice and simple, what’s not to like?
