It's a nice idea, but doesn't work for me as it is a bit confusing as the bird is making it's get-away and is facing away from you. The white line of the wave above it also dominates the pic somewhat. Now if you could have tempted it towards you, then that would have been great . A side on view would also have worked well.

Hi Gavin
Pretty much agree with Nick, that said the idea was great and don't be put off by the negatives as like Nick said if it had changed direction you would have had a winner!
Going away shots normally leave me going away too, but this has a lot to offer.
I'm thinking along the lines of text top and right leavng a very good image to tell a story with
I would agree it is a nice idea but doesn't quite have the impact. A good idea in principle and it is always useful to try out some new approaches to your photography.
Thanks for the feedback. I didn't plan this angle, I think side on would have been ideal but was just strolling down the beach, camera with me just incase.
