A nice OC frame with good light and exposure. The tiny morsel of food is a plus -- looks like a Horseshoe Crab egg, although I don't recall seeing them at Nickerson. Some other egg, I guess. I also like the white surf in the BG. For this frame I would definitely apply some CW rotation. It looks wrong to my eye even if it was shot on a sloping beach.
