Taken as the sun was setting. One of my favs from my recent trip to Florida.
Am looking forward to your thoughts. I could have lightened the shadowed area but I really like the play of light and shadows.
Canon 1Dx
ISO 800 SS 1/1000 f 6.3
PP :About 65% FF, clarity slider +15 and saturation +5, increased exposure by .5, then off to photoshop for levels and NR to BG.USM to JPEG
Comments and critiques always learned from and appreciated with thanks,

Now that's a unique Dowitcher shot. The pose and bg are terrific. I don't mind the side lighting; in fact it adds to the image. But I might have tried to even out the brightly lit wing and shaded portions just a bit (judicious use of s/h tool?) In any event, it's a great capture that I wish were mine.
A very angelic pose, and I love the dangling feet and tail spread! Great light and light angle - I'm OK too with the shadows in this case. Fantastic BG to boot. I imagine this was an after-bath wing flap?
Fun image, Gail. Love that gradient BG and the pose is priceless! Nice to have catch light in that one and the dangling feet are a big plus along with the wing symmetry.
nice capture,looks like an angel,loverly BG,some nice detail,looks like the focus was on the tail,not saying it is a easy shot to take,but still a nice image.
