Intriguing sequence.

You might consider cloning out the seagull in "3" so that snobody complains that it is really "4."

(For me, it's just fine as it is.)

Thanks. Interesting that you thought about taking out the seagull, that's precisely why I chose this vs another one slightly more dynamic but without it. I thought I can make a parallel between the jumping kid and the bird flying above as a continuation, maybe I thought too much  :D

Really nice image series  - and especially that first one as a standalone. The seagull is really distracting though in that third. Images seem to be "about" beach/people/shapes/cast shadows - then all of a sudden it's about an animal too? Not so sure about that.

Looks like my idea doesn't work, the seagull is out.

I have 2 other versions though so not all it's lost.

I prefer the new #3b to the original #3.
It has good action as well as avoiding the question of whether the bird counts as a 4th.

The first two, for me.
