    Hand held image lying prone on the beach. Only when making the post did I notice I had not made full use of my zoom capability, I have done this a few times and need to keep an eye on this.
    The rectangular shapes in the foreground are razor clam shells.

    I love the low angle and gentle wave behind, but the face doesn't seem sharp and the big blob in the foreground is really distracting. The raised foot does add a nice bit of action.

    I have to agree, on reflection the eye is not pin sharp.

    Agree with sharpness, and with large dark object in the FG. You got some nice wave action, and good low angle.

    Love the clear bubbly waves behind the bird . Color , tones and composition do work nice
