I saw this scene on La Jolla beach a few weeks back...

I like the juxtaposition of the gull out for a walk, just like the people in the background -- but am still wondering if I shouldn't crop more of the top out.

Thoughts?

    Yep...I'd just show the feet and a little leg of the closest couple. Their reflection would do in this case...I think.

    I'd crop too, but does anybody else notice what looks like an Amish gentleman in the background?
