Spectacular, super pose amazing backdrop, good exposure, even a bit of sea weed - lovely shot.

Wow... Superb EXP, SH and HA... Agree with all Jonathan said... Is that a crashing wave as BG... Congrats on another classic, Joe... TFS

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Brilliant capture, Joe. Love the walking pose, slight head turn, and the crashing wave in the background. Excellent low POV, and the seaweed is a plus.

Looking real good Joe....that wave makes for a great looking BG. Lovely detail on the bird, HA and nice POV. Very nice, well done.
