I found this handsome dude (or dudette?) not far from my home a few days ago. IMHO, these guys (especially the white morphs) are one of the most photogenic birds on the Gulf Coast. They are so animated.

20D with 500, ISO 400, 1/2,000, f9, handheld. Almost full frame. Cloned out a few tiny specks of seaweed.

Thanks for looking. All comments welcome.

Awesome! Love how you have captured him (or her) with his foot just above the water. Great action shot.

Stunning capture, Bruce!
The raised leg elevates the image even more for me,
and it just screams action!

A real beauty, Bruce!
The action is great, and that water makes it look like a studio shot.
Congrats!
