Douglas - Of the three, the third works best for me as an interesting 
photo.  The focus is right on the gull's near eye and there are no 
distracting elements in the frame.  It would have been nice to see 
some detail in the gull's white breast feathers but that might be an 
artifact of compression for the web.  In the second photo that red 
spot above the gull is distracting to me and the first is just a very 
nice picture of a gull in flight.

Thanks for showing them.
