Taken at the Sanibel pier early in the morning as the birds were gathering for the fishermen to throw them a fish or two. This little Royal was having a rest and gave me an opportunity to get up close.

I will never get tirede of these majestic birds, I love them! Light, BG, head turn and sharpness looks great, I see a little hot white in the back of his/her head that could be recovered, other than that, very nice shot! Congratulations!
beautiful details on the beak Judy, really nicely done.
love the details on the beak a real standout, nice exposure and soft bg aswell :)
Sweet comp, light and details, but as Ramon suggests there seems a little hot patch of white at the back of the head. Great image.

Nice details on the beak and great pose and angle!
Really like the detail in the beak Judy! I can't remember a thread with so many positive comments about beak detail, but they're well-deserved here.
