Seagull & Steps

[bristolmono]

This is a handheld 0.3sec exposure. When I took it I never noticed the seagull I was only interested in the sea breaking over the steps. The problem is I can't decide whether to leave it in or take it out. Maybe I should discard the image altogether.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Derek.

Cool capture. If it were mine, I would definitely leave the gull in.

I'm with Dan on this one; leave the bird.

In general, when I am in doubt, I will do an edit both ways and then see which option I prefer.

Looks like the bird has been acquitted!

That said, I also love the capture of the water flow.

80% life of this image comes from the bird......
