American White Ibis in Salt Water - Gulf of Mexico Birds

I hate to crop images but I did it to this one. Comments and

critiques are encouraged.

Wow! you have great clarity here. I know it may get to sound trite but great work! Composition is great!

Superb image - both composition and technique. Well done, Margo.

Great capture!

This is wonderful capture! Congrats!

very nice!

Good dof in the frontal view. Surf makes for a interesting background.

I find whites can be rather difficult to expose 'just so' - like this - a beautiful stilled moment and plenty of well exposed details in several shades of white. The crop looks very natural here.

I think that this one is a fabulous image - well done.

Mathew, Being aware of the abundance of white, it's likely that I set exposure compensation to plus 1/2 or more.
