Have you ever looked back and wished you spent more time on a subject? I took a trip over to the light house on Sanibel with one roll of film, not intending to spend much time. It was my last afternoon on the island & except for this roll, my film was already at the drop & ship place. Conditions to shoot this snowy were perfect - nice wind to blow his feathers, nice light, and the usual cooperative subject.

Very nice image Peter I like the blown feathers, foot position, head angle and very sharp. About the only thing I would do is to clone out the brownish round object on the top right. Congratulations I like it a lot.

This is cool, I like the raised leg and the plumage. I wish the OOF area in the upper right hand corner wasn't there.

This is a gorgeous shot. The 2nd post without the brown spot makes it even better, though thats just a nit really, it was pretty darn good to begin with.

I like the repost best. The wind blown feathers, raised foot and sea foam make this one for me. :)

A great portrait full of atmosphere. The birds are certainly co-operative around the fishing pier especially these guys.

Good ol' Mustard foot. I like the foot up pose and the exposure is nice.
