Hi Rob,
I think this is an excellent result.
The first thing that strikes me is just how sharp and well defined the bird is,and also the superb contrast in colours between the gulls crisp white plumage against that of the warm sunlit reeds in the background.
Love the pose and the composition works a treat.
Well worth the early morning walk.

Hi Rob,
I agree with the other comments, however I feel it could have been improved if the birds head was tilted slightly more towards you.
Great as is though.
