Compositional, two separate images with each element on an edge. Concentrating on one might be better. Some very strange tones and black lines round the gulls? Actually quite an interesting effect but not natural. Was it intended? May be due to the mono conversionbn, but not sure how it was achieved.
Water texture rather good.

If this is Pin Mill by the Butt and Oyster, I used to live not far from here!
The lines are interesting, almost looking solarised. Not sure if it's an effect of oversharpening, but it definitely looks like an edge effect.
I'd like a little more space round the gulls, but not as far as making them fit onto thirds, but I think the asymmetry is fine too and being close to the edge still balances.
i'll upload a couple of mods for consideration.

has something i like but there may be too much conflict with two near identical subjects each close to the edge of frame. cant help thinking i wished they were closer together so they could be grouped together both to one side.
the water texture is nice but something went a little wayward in the mono conversion, it looks very gritty and halated. i actually love hard contrasty conversions with deep blacks and white whites but im feeling this is a bit gritty and has the appearance of serious oversharpening.
i think that for it to work well as it is, it needs more space all around top and sides.
great idea, but id play with the original file even croping extending canvas, patching in the water and seeing if one works better than two.
