Bosque was a bit of a dissapointment for me this year. A bit too early the bird numbers were still down making it a challenge to get much of anything. One highlight for me was finding the white pelicans. We do not have them in the Pacific Northwest--so it was a treat for me. This one barely let me have a go at him--;)

Wow! good job at that focal length. Nice exposure and look back. I lie the low angle. I might crop some from the top and lighten the shadows a tad. Congrats on getting this guy!
Lovely low angle and gorgeous water. Another vote for the suggested crop and lightening the shadows. And may be also lighten the eye a bit?
That's some serious focal length. btw, 1120 doesn't seem right if you were using a 2x. Was it a 1.4x?
