While going after birds in the Florida Keys found some baby tarpon in shallow water !!! Lots of them all about the same size!!! Probably under five pounds!!! 8)

Next time around if they are there will take a polarizer!!! I was amazed at the way it came out!!! Conditions were very cloudy so I'm sure it helped!!!! 8) 8)

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Nicely done! f16-ISO400-1/500 suggests "sunny 16"!? (I'm surprised everyone in Florida doesn't have a polarizer with them at all times! ;) )

Looks pretty darn good to me as is!

Chasing birds with a 70-200? You're either really good or the birds are really cooperative. :shock:

Holy Smokes Alfred, great minds think alike. I got an identical shot from my trip there a week ago, except I used the polarizer to eliminate the glare. I'll have to post it later tonight....

I agree. Nice shot, but with a polariser it would be great!

Cheers,
Simon
