Lovely capture Judy. Nice head turn and the water streaming off of its right leg is a bonus.

[James Salywoda]

Sweet Shot! Excellent details I like the slightly raised foot and the foam from the water ..... A bird I've yet to see out here....:)

[Raul Quinones]

Great shot, nice colors. Seen this species only once... I see along trip to DeSoto coming up.

I like the setting and raised foot and wish for a lower angle. Is the red cast due to morning light?

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Hi Axel thanks for your comments they are always apprecited and it was very early in the morning that this image was taken.

[Sid Garige]

Very nice image Judy. Never seen one surfing before.

[Steve Maxson]

Beautiful, Judy. The water splashing around the feet and falling off the raised leg make this one special. I also like the edge of the wave crossing the bottom of the frame.
