Very nice Gautam. Great that you got the bill open and the pouch full of breakfast.

[Jim Poor]

Nice capture. I'd love to see the face / eye a little better. Maybe if you lighten it up a hair?

[Maxis Gamez]

Very nice pose, details and light. This looks like deep water for Ding.

[JP Bruce]

Very nice capture. Looks like a happy expression to me.

Maxis,
Thanks for your comments. You are right regarding the location, my mistake. It was off the coast of Sanibel island and not the waters of Ding-Darling. I will edit it in the text.

Just about perfect. Love the perfect head angle and the open bill. Of slight concern is that the relatively dark head is set against the shadowed side of a small but dark wave-let...

later and love, artie
