The image looks great!  I'd like to be sitting on that thing.
I couldn't tell what the seagull was.  At first I thought it was a low
flying plane of some sort.  It seems a bit blurry to me.  Perhaps motion
blur?
I would be tempted to add two more fractals that are somewhat similar and
place them much further out/away on the right side of the image.
