    I captured this image a Lake Morton in Lakeland, Florida. I love these birds, sometimes they look goofy when walking but swimming and flying they excel. It is not unusual to see large pods all fishing together as they follow the small fish and crustaceans. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    1/1250 F/5.6 Matrix Metering EV -2/3 ISO 140 Auto 1 WB, image captured at 300mm
    Post processed in Lightroom Classic, Photoshop CC 2020 and Neat Image for noise reduction when needed
    Cropped for composition and presentation

    P.S. Learn more about Lake Morton in the BAA Middle Florida Photography Site Guide that Artie and I co-authored. It is available at this link The BAA Middle of Florida Site Guide

    Solid portrait all around. The bill makes a nice diaganol line. The blue water background is great.

    I love it. Perhaps a bit more dof for the wing, but all else is good for me.

    Another "classic" JP portrait. And that's high praise. TFS

    Well done Joseph. nice colors and nice textures in the whites. Like the slight head turn and stray head feathers.
