    Waiting at dawn to go out on the boat at Lake Blue Cypress, this Limpkin strutted its stuff over the bridge against some beautiful light

    Mike:

    Lovely color in the sky. Good silhouette.

    I find the black band at the bottom a bit over powering, and might try a bit different crop, with a bit less on the bottom, and a balancing crop at the top.

    Just personal preference .

    Cheers

    Colors and bird are great. The boat dock or whatever that is on the bottom does not work for me. I am not a fan of man made objects in photos and here I feel it really over powers the bird.

    Thanks everyone, I did look at it again after Id saved it but before posting, and tried it will less on the bottom - but I was too lazy to re-save it! Should have done!

    Cheers
