Your composition is very good. Lighting is good. May I offer some small advice?

Your focus is soft. Focus on the eye of the bird you are concentrating on. Or change your aperture to sometime like F8.

You have a good eye for composition and light. I've seen a couple other of your posts and the focus is the only issue. If more than one subject is involved change the aperture to a higher number. Not to make you feel elementary but if aperture understanding is new to you try doing a search in UHH for learning aperture.

I have an understanding about aperture, and dof maybe its too shallow.
Something to study i think

The thing i like about UHH is that i get honest comments, if i took offence then i shouldn't post.

Thanks photophile, I'm not big on birds, there was just a lot of them. I thought they were pigeons, but the colour of them seems too light. I'm sure someone will enlighten us.

If this bird is same as first photo, it's not a pigeon. Webbed feet...maybe seagull? Or equivalent name in England :)
