I love the teetering off-balance look. Maybe a smidge tight on the left as JR says.

nice image Maggie just a tad to tight on the left for me think a bit more room would look better

A very obliging witch to allow the gull to pose for you, Maggie. I hope she didn't put a spell on you.

Great pose, well seen and taken.

Great tetering pose, I agree with a little more room on the left and maybe a touch brighter. Nice image.

Interesting pose Maggie, and certainly conveys the weather conditions.

Nits covered, I would also add a bit more USM to as the image does look a tad soft

Nits already covered, but otherwise a very nice and well composed image.
