Cute thought! a simple photo..I like it in a sense..but somehow something is "missing" I like the way the pole shows with the sand at bottom of it and the seagull...sittin there..but I think maybe more of the water needs to show...But i do like the shot a lot.
The problem with photos of beaches in this part of the world is that the low tide is huge! The water goes back a long way and leaves vast amounts of mud. In this photo, I thought the mud had a bit of a "mirage" effect, with puddles of water glistening on the horizon. That way, our bird guarding his beach is only guarding a large field of mud!
