Sharp and perfectly framed. Love the wave breaking behind the bird but not a fan of the shells.
with love, artie
ps: on a different tidal stage you can get them set against clean sand ...

This looks really nice, Joe. Great color, perfect eye contact, super details, even on the legs. Shells aren't ideal, but they're part of the habitat, right? I'd like a bit more room
all around the bird, but that's minor and personal preference.
