Taken early morning, but had to wait for a faster shutter speed to capture the bird in focus, using ISO 100.

Post: Does it matter where you are when you send a card to a friend or family, unlike towns and cities that have good subject matter for photographing as a post card, my town with a population of only 55,000 has very little subject matter, I did this shot and created it as though it could be from any where you wished,that is also a post card, I can see it was down scored for not displaying a town or city, and if I had put Hervey Bay how many would of known where it was.

I like the way you curved the text to arch over the sun and sort of lead us to the bird. Also really like the rocks on the shoreline - adds a nice balance to the shot.
