Racing the Surf

Sanderlings are popular lately. Taken about 1/2 hour before the sun set.

Any pertinent technical details:

Canon 7D Mark II; Sigma 150-600 at 600 mm; 1/800 at f6.3; ISO 640

Any suggestions for improvement are always appreciated. Thanks.

Nice Allen, nice running pose, and the cool and warm tones work well.
The large version is soft, not sure what is going on there.

Very cool, Allen. The light is great and I love the line of foamy surf. I need to get out to the coast again!

Love the golden light and that the bird is on the left insead of centered. Though perhaps crop a bit from the right?
