The subject really grabs my attention, the almost symmetrical are hard to look away from. The background really helps to bring out the subject. It looks like you lost some white feather detail and you also cut off one of the gull's tail feathers, though that is not really distracting. Overall a good photo.

Smile Interesting capture

Hi jccms, I think this neat photo would feel complete if you could have included the gulls feet. Otherwise a very interesting capture. - jimmy

Default symmetry

Very cool symmetry you've captured here. One suggestion would be to clone out the lamp that looks like it's sticking out of the left gull's head.

The square crop looks great for this shot.

Neat capture, I like it. Very sharp too!
Show alittle more of those little orange feet would be even nicer

Well, thank you all for the comments.

I tried to have the gulls feet in the photo although a lots of people were between the camera and the birds so that was the best angle that I got

Next time I will try to get a better position..

Great symmetry! I had to double-look as for a second I thought you just did some photoshop magic to make them look so symmetrical!

Great capture!
