Great eye contact and low angle Bob The little sand bar perch with surrounding water is icing on the cake

Wonderful!
I love your bird's-eye level shooting. It allows great intimate contact with the subject.
What is your camera mounted on for these shots?

G'day Durwood,
Depending on where I am and what the substrate is, I either have a bean bag (sometimes resting on aboogie board), or the tripod with he legs out straight. This shot was the latter.

Love it, Rob. The light on the bird, your low angle and the setting make for a very nice combo.
