Jetty on Tybee Island, Ga
D300, 500f/4 (nonVR) + 1.4TC, Gitzo & Wimberly

Should I remove the water splashes/drops? C/C appreciated... thanks!

Nice pose and lovely detail, Ed. I like the bubbly texture of the water on the rock. I might remove some of the white spots (droplets from popping bubbles?) and darken down the OOF donuts in the right lower corner - alternatively a slight crop from below would eliminate most of them.

Thanks, Tony. I'm off to do as I've been told :)

A great bird for GA, and an excellent image. Perfect head angle plus the purple sheen. Love the seaweed but wish we could see the toes. And yes to a crop from below. All in all, quite excellent.

Thanks, Artie. Here is the version after Tony's suggestions... still less off the bottom?

Hi Ed I like your second post better. I aslo like the look of the water flowing up on the slopping rocks, looks neat. Lovely bg.

repost is an improvement IMO, Ted. Would explore the crop option too and see which you prefer.

Thanks guys, I've cropped the bottom a little, but still like the bird to have room;)
