Water, Land and the Open Sky

Please Critique

You stopped the action very nicely here. A few things might help improve the photo for next time: looks like this was taken in the middle of the day, for white birds this causes them to be easily overexposed as on the head here, try earlier or later in the day; your horizon (the beach) is not straight, always keep horizons straight; putting the bird above or below the horizon helps with a clean background. Try these out. You will probably like the results. Good luck

Thanks Barry, I will definitely keep your suggestions in mind when I shoot birds next time.
