This is just cool. I love the waves breaking behind the bird. YOu also have a great angle on the shot. Nice and low, it really makes you feel part of the action. I also like the hint of a reflection on the sand. 9
excellent composition. love the colors that the lighting is producing. this is the type of image people can easily take for granted--until they try to shoot it themselves! i hope you aren't getting beaten up for the blown out details, and that you aren't getting overlooked in this monster challenge! good luck in this and the challenges yet to come!
Great shot... great DOF.. love the water line behind the bird and the wave splashing in the back. Looks a little funny on the right side of the bird... the bright spots?
