    ...on that wingtip but this beauty didn't. Created one wing flap after it snatched up the small minow sized morsel on the fly. Created early morning this past weekend at Wako.

    I like the light, pose, details and setting. Too bad about the clipped wing and I would tone down the whites in the neck area a bit more.

    Nice shot, add some canvas and rebuild the tip if needed, Fabs is the Queen of this technique if you need some advice.

    Techs are solid, whites look close to the edge or like Axel said, toned down a tad, well done. Great habitat shot as well, I like the beach and plants.

    To bad about the clipped wing tip. I like this image so I thought I make an quick attempted to fix the wing tip using quick masks and wing repair as described in Robert O'Toole's APTATS (Advanced Photoshop Techniques And Tips Simplified). If your ethics allow I think repairing this image would be worth the effort. I also did a linear burn on the white on the neck.
