Taken at Mullet Key, Fl, commonly called Ft. DeSoto. I crawled to within 20 ft while he was chasing small fish in this tidal pool. I love the intense stare on this bird.

D30 100-400@400mm 1/500 f/5.6 fill flash because it was heavily overcast. In fact I finally got chased out of the park by a thunderstorm.

Jeff,

Very nice composition. I love the intense stare. Exposure looks good on this monitor. My only wish would be for a slight head turn toward the camera. But this is still very nice as is.

Very nice shot Jeff. The reflection of the beak gives this an intensity.

The reflection really is a plus here and leads the viewer into wondering if this guy is staring intently at whom he/she thinks is just another bird
