When I saw this photo I knew straight away what I like the best about this photo. The simplicity and the limited color pallet. I also think you have captured so well the fine shine and reflections from the bird in the shiny water.

The silhouetted bird is standing out sharp and well defined against the water, and the exposure is perfect. All the golden colors are just lovely.

The format and framing is the best, and with the bird off to the left, it is a very good balance in the composition. I think this is a truly beautiful and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A beautiful image. I like the slope of the distant hills and the great colors. The gull in the foreground is well located and the golden water is fantastic.

A nice one here Nik. The placement of the bird is just perfect, just left of center and toward the lower third of the scene. The glowing waters are well accented by the darker blue water. The pale gold mountains lit by the sunset completes this lovely scene. Well done my friend and best of the best in the contest ~ Steve

A stunning sunset ...and I like the seagull enjoying the evening sunset with the mountains of North Wales in the background. Beautiful natural warm colors with a beautiful reflection on the water. Very well photographed with good natural light sharp focus and god details and clarity in your image. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

This is a beautiful sunset in the orange and gold tones, the lone seagull is enjoying a swim . This is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well handled, colors and tones appear natural, the mountains are well placed to separate the sky from the water , I like the 1/4 sky and 3/ 4 water composition. Well presented ! Best wishes to you in the contest!

This is such a tranquil and beautiful scene. I love the golden warm colors in this seascape. The silhouetted
seagull just makes the photo and is such a wonderful focal point. Really a peaceful image thats soothing to view and beautiful at that.
Best wishes in the contest.

This picture is stunning!
From the majestic colors of the sunset to the detail in the rippling water.
Lines are crisp and clean throughout the scene.
Good luck in the contest.
