Image shot at Merritt Island NWR, this past winter. Cropping to accent freedom of flight. No other objects removed, BG was total sky.

Enjoy!

Hi Mark

These white birds are tough with shadows Need the light behind. You handled the light well and do like the crop ... lots of room for the bird to move into.

Light angle would have made a difference here !!!!

Hi Mark,
I like the capture...the only problem here is the light angle casting the harsh shadows...I would give him just a tad more room on top for my taste...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Thanks appreciate the comments. Understand the shadow, but liked the image. Next time, if he just would fly around me in a big circle! ;) Merritt Island is awesome, but the light angles often leave something to be desired, since most of the non road areas are posted.
