Photographed along the coast in central Oregon, August 2011.
I just could not decide the best way to crop this bird.

Love this species. He looks summer ratty. Perfect head angle, good EXP, and a nice pose. I'd take about 1/3 to 1/4 of the water off the bottom for a perfect crop.

Terrific exposure on the blacks. I would take a bit off the bottom. The head looks a bit soft to me,

Nice exposure on the blacks. I'm thinking the head could use a tad sharpening.

nice pose and exposure, I agree it needs more sharpening

Thank you all! I'll crop as advised and do another round of sharpening on the head.
