Interesting composition, I like how the wave frames the birds on the beach.

Beautiful light and color. I'm enjoying looking at the birds and then letting my eye wander back to the pier.

Lovely! The birds really makes this image. The only thing that I might nitpick about is that the horizon is not level. However, I’m not sure if levelling the horizon would upset the balance of the birds and pier.

i like how the light touches the birds to set them off from the sand and surf

I may have told you this before but Huntington has a special place in my heart. My Dad was a lifeguard there after WWII. Every time I see the pier or a lifeguard stand, I think of him. Thanks for a happy remembrance. 7

Sarah watched the little sandpipers dart long the sand. Off in the distance was the Pier where she knew her uncle was fishing. He never came down to the shoreline to walk the beach as that he did not like to get wet. The dinner table that evening was sure to have tuna or whatever he caught this afternoon. How ironic she thought, "Funny how we build things to fish on, while these little sandpipers do not fear getting their feet wet when fishing for food."

Lovely and scenic landscape. Love the soft glow of light upon the birds, sand, and the pier.

Love the PP on this, and how the birds look like bronze, is the horizon straight, not sure, still nice pic.

Beautiful light! I do want to correct your horizon, though. (Bad habit from also shooting this coast, wanting to straighten horizons...)
