One of my favorite oc images from this summer at Cupsogue County Park, Long Island. This is a beach that is quite accessible with great subjects, yet is rarely used by photographers. I converted this image in ACR, did a few slight adjustments, and used the patch tool to remove the tip of a beak from another bird on the left side. No crop.
Hi Grace: I absolutely love the mood you have captured here. I like the slight movement of the waves and the fog. I think I would take a sliver off of the left. You have nice details in the white and the blacks. Dreamy.
Hi Grace, I like it!. I agree with Denise that the image does have a dreamy feel to it. Great job on the exposure as I see good details in the darks and lights. You could take off a little on the left but if it were mine I think I would leave it as presented. Thanks for sharing.
Darn, my Mother just threw a Yahtzee on me. Five sixes. I was only a Cupsogue once, on a foggy morning in OCT and it was great. Was this on the ocean side?
I like the disappearing legs and feet in this one and the soft light.

Lovely image Grace. The photo creates a very nice mood and technically I really like how you have held details in both the whites and balcks. Good for you and nice to see. Dave
