Shot last Saturday in Gulfport. Don't know what the bird was looking at up there, but I found the post rather interesting. Full frame, but with a little canvas added RHS. Large image included.

Nice detail; god technicals. A bit on the tight side.

I love the clarity. Excellent detail. I might add a tiny bit more canvas all around. Good full-frame composition.

I love how it emphasizes the long legs. Good details and nice light. Very good image.

I really like the bird's pose in this shot Bill. NIce colors and light too. Just a bit tight on the top maybe?

Bill, I really like this one a lot. Love the head angle, the eyes and the BG color is perfect for this shot! My only little nit, is I wish you had a touch more room on the backside. Would be pretty easy to ad canvas if you wanted to.

Lovely bird, well shown here to emphasize his proportionately long legs.
