South of American Beach

It's a decent picture but I think a bit better burning and dodging would help it. Love the seagull. But my problem with it is pretty insurmountable, which is the tire tracks but even that could be helped a bit by cropping off the bottom horizontal ones.

There is a sign that reads "No vehicles beyond this point" just out of the frame to the right. I could have included it but I did not want to make that point. The tire tracks are part of the reason I took the picture. Behind me were two SUVs that brought a couple of desperate surf boarders. Not much challenge for them in these waves, they might as well have been on a lake. It was fairly early, fog lifting on the land side and I was lucky that there were actually any clouds in the scene. The uneven light was partly the nature of the scene and partly the result of the Diafine. I generally like to present what I find rather than alter the scene. Thank you for your observations and suggestions.
