Thanks guys! He put on a good show for me this morning.
Artie - Ding Darling this morning just after opening (about 8 AM or so). Third lagoon, to the right of the tower...but before the water flow area. It's about the only spot you can sneak down and lay in the mud over there.
Lovely simplicity and colors.
You had alot of light at that time! (1/4000 @ ISO200). Super nice image, the colours are very appealing and that falling drop is the icing on the cake :-)
Awesome all around shot I love the water drop beautiful details and pretty bg.
probably the best RSB I have seen... excellent.
beautiful shot. great colors in the bird and the BG. wonderful low angle. Perfect head turn.

Fantastic image with such terrific BG. Love the smooth transition between rich, deep dark blue and light blue. The bird colors are nailed and with just the right amount of saturation. terrific low angle, eye contact, head turn and pose. The cristal clear water drop against the creamy background is the ice on the cake. Very, very goos Bob
This is just TERRIFIC! Congratulaitons on the light, pose, details, BG and that water drop that is just... superb!
Absolutely gobsmackingly BEAUTIFUL .... awesome shot Bob.
fantastic image!!! This is what one gets from a full frame - marvelous colors and detail!!! Really love the bird's pose and spanking BG!
the water drops and the bg are spectacular!!!, but i think i might prefer the one you posted today just a bit more!! would love to have either in my files!!
I like everything about this one. Gorgeous subject, wonderful light and perfect pose. The darker blue water at the top really sets off the pinks beautifully.
Wonderful image!! Hope to start seeing a few more at Merritt Island soon!!
