Canon EOS 1D Mk II, Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM, Gitzo 1227 + 1377M, f/6.3, @ 1/800 s, ISO: 100, -1/3 EV, Flash: No, January 12, 2007 9:14, Little Estero Lagoon, Ft. Myers Beach (Florida)
Pretty shot all around, with a sharp bird, nice color palate, great reflection, and some stopped action to add interest. My only suggestion would be to remove the diagonal line on the bird's wing, as it's a little distracting.
Lovely image with a great low angle and superb lighting. I also like the action you captured in this image as well as the cropping. The line would be better cloned out but still a very fine image !! Thanks for sharing !!
Excellent image, the colors are simply amazing. The water is a huge plus and the low angle gives this image an excellent perspective. You have a winner here!
