Gulls on Kilchoman beach, Isle of Islay

An impression from a walk on Kilchoman beach on a sunny April day, near the southern end of the beach. Some gulls on the beach and in the water near the shoreline, complemented by a gull flying past at the top of the frame. Captured by chance, leaving me wondering if it had been better if the gull had been fully in the frame or if it is perfect as it is?

A view from Four Winds above Portnahaven, looking out to Orsay with the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. If you look carefully you also just make out Ireland across the North Channel on the horizon.
