    I captured this image at Ft. Desoto County Park, Pinellas County, Florida. You got to love it, sit in a beach chair in the shade and have these beautiful bird parade in the breaking surf. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Hi Joseph lovely shot , well composed and i like the color palette a lot .
    You have nice detail and tones in the frame , but i right temper the blacks a fraction in post as they do look bit solid to my eyes.

    Enjoyed watching , TFS Andreas

    Hi Joe, gotta love the light in this, and sitting in your chair, you have achieved a great shooting angle. Good sharp detail, and I do like the colour of the water.

    Hi Joe, lovely looking image, and detail on the bird looks real good. I like how the front foot is 'floating' on the water. Nice work. (don't break sweat)
