Why I didn't "crop" this image.
First off..... there will be some that say... all the sand in the foreground isn't "necessary" , and had this been "their" picture, they would have cropped it down some.... which believe it or not gives you a whole different image.
If you look a little more closely ..... you'll notice how there's almost an equal amount of the sky, ocean and sand in the image. Sort of like 3 different bands of colors running horizontal in the image. And then the lovely seagulls were captured right in the middle "band" of color..in this case the ocean.
My advice to you.......
Look before you crop :)
