Taken on Rabbit Key, in the Everglades
Sony a700, 70-400mm, @400mm

I worked the color balance of the water and sharpened and lightened the bird's eye.
Thank you for looking

Hi Connie Good looking ring-billed, very sharp and liked how you worked the eye, water can take many tones around that area and you had a fair paddle from Chokoloskee :) Hope you did not have North wind on the way back !!! Pose wise would like wings fully up/down but just my choice !!! Excellent image !!!

I like the way these colors work so well together. The red eyering against the green water is great.
Cheers

I agree with the above comments, and would tone down the brighter whites. That water is spectacular!!

Excellent detail and eye contact Connie and love the low angle. Many thanks for sharing.
