Florida Whooper Revised

Thanks for the critiques this week folks on the first Florida Whooper photo. I tweaked it and thought I would post a new one according to your suggestions. I was limited to a degree due to my ability [or lack thereof] with Elements. Darn, I really need to take a class while here in Tampa.

Thanks again folks; all suggestions are appreciated.

BTW, I'm on the road a lot and will do my best to encourage those of you who post as well.

Steve, this photo is much better than your previous image. Now we can really see the face on this amazing bird. I'd love to see a Whooper here in Florida.

Very nice Whooper portrait! I think you got it just right as far as the composition is concerned. Looks like a magazine cover to me... :smile:

I like this better too Steve, esp the light and detail on the head and neck.

Thanks ladies and gentlemen for your help on this. Thanks to you, I saw this image differently and now, because of your advice, NPN is the only organization that has this edited version. It took a group effort. Thanks again.

OK, time for a group hug. :smile:
