Merrit Island
Canon 40D, 500mm, 1.4 TC, 580 flash, better beamer
Aperture Priority, 1/1250s f/6.3 at 700.0mm iso400, +2/3EV

Cool pose and angle, better eye contact would have improved the image. It needs a bit CW rotation.

[Fabs Forns]

Great action, Raul and well exposed.

[Del Cockroft]

Good exposure and composition. The seaweed is a tad distracting, but I love the pose.

[Steve Maxson]

Nice pose. I like the light and the low shooting angle. The beak looks oversaturated to me.

Thanks for comments, I actually try to towndown the beak a little bit.
I'll go back and look at the raw conversion process and photoshop workflow.
