Great stretching pose, nice eye contact and details, Axel. It is always way too far from shore in our area.

Excellent Axel. I know how hard this species is to get, and then to get some details in those blacks can also be a real challenge. Nice one.
Thanks for looking,

Barnegat Light is such a great place. Love the excellent look of his body out of the water and great detail. Well done.

Axel, expertly done, getting feather textures and details on those darks, love the bits of waterdrops and the hood ornament pose off that bump of wave :)
