I don't get here often enough, but really enjoy the posts, and efforts given to capture such fine images. I liked thiss simply for the composition of the birds in flight and on the beach,

I too like the simple nature of 3 in flight and 3 on the ground. I would go for a panorama crop and remove most of the foreground and a bit off the top. Image appears to need a CCW rotation. Can't tell at this size about the sharpness on the birds, but a bit more contrast would probably help.

I agree, this is made for a pano crop.

I agree, the staggered positions with three in flight and three about to take off works well Robert.
Cool setting with its layered tones/different shades/colors of sand & water.
I like it as posted - Well done

Another vote for the composition as posted, I like the undulating curves int he sand throughout. Nice seaside image.
