Went down to Jones Beach, Wantagh, NY, before work. This was the only bird around, and I almost didn't catch it in the frame.

Sometimes I'm just too envious to comment.

Oh, well. Great capture. I agree that a bit more space would be good but that is a minor point.
The position of the bird in the air is fabulous as is the color, the wing and foot position and the catchlight in the eye.

I like the tight presentation as is for web ...
Fantastic diving pose and good detail from beneath too, Rich!

As already mentioned, this is a great image and great action. On my monitor it appears to be a bit flat though needing more contrast.

Excellent flight posture. I too think it needs more contrast.

Fantastic image! Great pose and light make this one really amazing. I would go darker on the black slider in levels.

Fantastic dive shot Rich!! I'd lighten the eye a tad using dodge/burn techniques.
