Took this image at a little fishing pier next to Tween the Waters Inn in Captiva back in 2002. I think I have the same hair-do as he does!

Hi Mary---this bird has a lot of hairy character.

I would consider brightening the image a bit and adding a somewhat dark frame with more on the bottom to give the impression of more room under the feet. The bird is quite elegant and although not optimally sharp as presented here, I can see that the potential is there for great detail to be brought out.

Mary, I really like the light here and the pose. It a little tight at the bottom for me too. Neat shot

Taken next to the Canoe and the Kayak restaurant, right? One of my favorite places, and it always turns up some interesting subjects. Great shot!

I love the dark, moody lighting. The tightness on the toes is my only very minor nit. Excellent image!!

I love the mood lighting, too - goes so well with the hairdo.
