I like this. The bridge makes me think of a music staff and the birds are like notes. And their positions made me think of a Neil Diamond song about Johnathan Livingston Seagull, something about "Lost on a Painted Sky"... (where clouds are hung for a poet's eye, you may find him), which didn't fit exactly in terms of intonation, but it was six syllables at least. :)

Bill,
Good eye and nice capture. The B&W comp adds a moody feel to this picture that has a lot of interest. Everything works well here but the gulls. Way too much movement in these guys for 3.2 sec and the blown out whites takes away from an otherwise outstanding photograph.

Ansel Adams would be proud. Most photos of this bridge seem to rely on stunning colors for effect and you've created a really beautiful B&W. You were right to title the photo "Six Gulls"--they belong there and their white color plus bit of motion add an accent to the image as a whole.
