edowit, Welcome

Hard to not mention the framing, but it does have a good look with the intersecting curves of rope and railing, and opposing curves of gull bellies. Lightening enough to separate gulls from sky and boat wake would bring gulls forward more as subjects.

As usual, I agree with jiminy here. =)

To me, and I'm not an expert at all just giving my opinion, I would have liked to see some more contrast in post-production between the grey elements in this photo. For some reason it just seems so "bland" to me, but if that's the look you were going for then it is captured well.
The framing to me is off as well, but I'm the last one to talk about that as I only think about the framing while I'm editing it seems like! lol! I'm on a huge learning curve. =)
The focus is great though and I love that you caught the one on the right looking a different direction from the other too, it adds some interest to the photo. =) Nice shot! =)

nice capture......i agree with the other posters that the contrast should be upped just enough so that the gull's whites appear lighter.....

thanks...
