There were 2 GBs down at the beach, but they wouldn't let me get close. With the cold unbroken, I would have thought they would be farther south. This GB was a Florida bird, who had to stand in for the unfriendly northern ones.
Oh wow, I really like the concept here! Awesome scene, nice placement and treatment of the bird, lighting and angle feels right, a nicely added reflection-what a dreamy scene you've created. Only critique would be the bid image itself, it would seem focus nailed the far wing leaving the head just a little soft (this happens to me a lot on birds with large wingspans.) but it still works well enough. Beautiful!
