Seagull

Took this at the Alki Beach of Seattle at sunset. The mountain in the background is Mount Rainier, the same mountain featured in my "Taken from the plane" thread. Hope you like it. Comments and criticism are always welcomed.

Looks a little soft to be... Due to the resizing?

Actually, the focus is a bit off. Unfortunately this happens once in a while with my CP995. Furthermore, I was trying my newly bought 2x tele-converter, and the picture was taken hand-held. Tried to use USM to compensate, but that cannot help much with a picture that is not focused right.

The biggest problem is the fact that the mountain in the background is brighter than the seagull. That makes PS adjustment even more difficult.
