    From a few months ago on my day out with Capt Shadle in Tampa. This is about a 50% crop. Adjusted curves to make it pop a bit more. Cloned out some brownish stuff on the beach, but not all, didn't want to totally sanitize it. Undecided about fluff or sand at tip of bill. Wish I could see the right foot.
    Ran NR a couple of times on background.
    Thanks in advance for any comments and critiques. I hope you like it.

    Great wing stretch, front light and low angle. I like the colours on the face.

    Melissa, I really like the detail and colours these guys have on their head and beak. Perfect angle of capture, and well timed to get the stretch. Im fine with the 'dirty' tip of the beak.

    An absolutely lovely pose by this handsome fella. The low shooting angle, the deep blue bg and the white sand all work beautifully here. Very nice.
