    Here is another image from yesterday, taken at Chuburna, Yucatan; walking in the lagoon in the afternoon. Comments are appreciated.

    I like the naturel perch and the complimenting background, Lorant. Nice bird, excellent details.

    Sweet light, subject and habitat. For me I would prefer a different head angle, as the eyes are lost somewhat. Also some more room on the left would help too.

    Thank you for the comments and thank you for the notes, Alan. I have different head positions, but I kind of liked this one. I have more room on the left as well. DO you think putting the bird in the center would work better as far as the composition goes? Here is another head position. What do you guys think?

    While it's fun to see the bird's straight on look, I personally prefer the RP b/c it's more pleasing to the eye.
