The best I've seen you post so far :)
Nice use of side light. The bubble and mirror-like sand do it for me.
I may take out the lower part of reflection and leave just the feet.

Hi Michael, beautiful light and agree with Fabs on the crop. For my taste I would take a small amount off the top also...

[Lance Peters]

Hi Michael - agree with Fabs - some off the top and bottom - more of a pano to accentuate the forward movement.
Really like the mirror like sand.

Love the mood of this one, the near sunset strolling on the beach. Love the warm color, the angle captured, and the wave behind the bird. Side lighting doesn't bother me at all in this image, very nicely done.

Agree with Fabs Michael Best to date !!!!... at least my favorite from the ones posted !!!

Would take some form the bottom as suggested and a little from the top, the crop will accentuate forward motion Looking forward to the next one !!!

All,

Thanks much for the kind words... The crop suggestions are right on the mark. I'm learning a lot from the critiques in this forum... from everyone who contributes...

Cheers,
