I used to live in Tampa - LOVE the beaches in Pinellas county. Anyway, this shot is funny, because if you had turn the camera sideways to include the whole beak, and it was in focus, this would go from the last page to the first page. just my opinion.

keep shooting. :)

Nice background and crop. Sharp focus on the bird would have made an even bigger impact
