What happened to the Beach?

What technical feedback would you like if any?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

What artistic feedback would you like if any?

Background is dark and predominate OOF - I thought to use it to emphasize the erosion of the beachfront due to storm. Is it too much of a distractor? or does it make the point.

Pertinent technical details or techniques:

Nikon D500 PF500 lens at 1/1000sec f8.0 ISO800 ev 1/3.
(If this is a composite, etc. please be honest with your techniques to help others learn)
Used Topaz Studio2 with AI Clear to sharpen.

EJ, this is a good look at what seems to be a curious bird. Definitely good for a grin. That white eye ring sure adds to the feeling of an astonished bird…
