Great looking image Joe. The bird is sharp and giving a great pose. I like the feet showing below the water. Very nice.

I've been trekking across the Glens this morning in all weathers, just to get some decents shots, and theres you laying on a deckchair, on the beach, getting great shots like this

Well done

Super shot Joseph, Good action on the pose, The water look really attractive here, and gives a nice view of the feet. I like the look like he was keeping an eye on you.

Hi Joseph, " sitting in a beach chair" is the way I would love to do my photography. I like the low angle, sharp where it counts, and lovely clarity to the water.

Mate, I keep telling these spoiled Floridans (tongue-in-cheek) that some of us have to work hard to get shots.


Wonderful image Joseph. I wish it was this easy in Oz. :)
Well done mate! I may just have to bite the bullet and spend a couple of weeks in Florida one day.
