Fierce and arrogant like the captain of a ship!
I wish you a good Weekend.

The bird is definitely looking right at you. Surprised he didn't fly away. Like the marina setting behind you.

Very cool shot. It's like the gull wants to have a conversation. Good choice to convert to b&w.

I like the frame and DOF choice, but i'm not sure about the noisy background.

You must have had a huge seed reward to get him to hold still for such a great shot. :-) It's a wonderful photo, and I love the b/w.

Perfect focus! Depth is just as it should be. And B&W is a good choice for shot!

I like this bird's pert look. Nice rim lighting on the bird helps separate him from the dock area. Nice one.
