Hi Joe, I really like your composition on this black bellied and the waves and golden sun is very complimentary as it softens the stark black and white plover. nice!
Nice frame Joe, I really like the shadow as well - nice touch. I agree with him being a little higher in frame if you have more of the foreground on the original.
Next time I go to Florida this may be the top bird on my list to photograph. Just can not get anywhere near them up in NY. This is a beauty Joe. Great light and details on the bird. I love the colors of the water and that golden band.
