Spring is in The Air

From our local beach. Things are heating up.

Sharp with intense colors. You needed to be about five yards to your right to better parallel the subjects. Could go a bit lighter overall.

Joe:

This is an interesting subject, well composed and exposed, and sharp. I find the green debris in the foreground somewhat distracting but probably would not remove it.

Well done!

[Nick Palmieri]

Nice job Joe. Like the open beak and the females leg being up a bit. I'm a little bothered by the what appears to be the opposite wing toward the back of the bird, possibly beach debris??? Hope to see you out there one of these days.

Great pose and colors. I think I would try eliminating the green debris, but that's a personal choice. OOF right wing is a little distracting but not a killer IMHO (could easily be removed but might look unbalanced).
