Nice pose with the "treasure". This must be a large crop as there is some noise in the BG and the lens was at 105. The beach line detracts a bit.

Nice capture of this moment. I like the exposure control and look back. Do you have an image before the bird passed you? I agree with Ed that the shoreline is a bit distracting.

I don't know about this one Layton. The bird is flying away from you, too small in the frame and the busy BG.... mmmm... Not my favorite from you!

[Doug Brown]

I'd like to see an earlier frame from this series, as I think it might make for a stronger image. This one is close but just misses IMO.
