Captured this one while on the SWFL IPT as well. Not the best specimin, but he certainly posed well for me. The horizon though his body bugs me a bit, but the rest is good I think.

Well done Bob. EXP and SHARPNESS excellent. If you zoomed out a bit more and included a bit more sky above, it would be better. And if you could havee gotten even lower to put the sand line somewhere near his feet, then it would have been killer. Did you see that you are famous in Friends and Family?
later and love, artie

There is room at the top on the original. I shoud've moved up to the water's edge for POV. I was as low as I could get on the beach, but it was still up about 12-18 inches.
I just saw the "notorious" image over in Friends and Family.....TOO FUNNY! I actually had someone asking me via e-mail about how I used the BLUBB in a Frisbee. Now I can refer them to the forum too :D I love it!
It was great photographing with you! Good exposure, nice pose and the bird is sharp! I really like the soft reflection below the bird. It looks to me like you were already pretty low when you made this image, because the perspective is good. Agree with suggestions that a little more on top would have been good.
Great work, Bob. I love the eyes of these White Morphs, they're absolutely incredible. I'd really like more room at the top, and taking a bit off the left hand side. Good job on the exposure, and ofcourse you know I like the low angle ;)
