From last July in Gulfport. This one was taking lots of very small fish from the tidal lagoon in early morning light.

Hi Bill, Great capture and you have a bit of a conundrum. the water in the FG is slightly askew but if you straighten it, then the OOF BG will be at a small angle. Not that I have a real vote, but I would consider straightening the image to the FG since it's closer to the bird.

Really nice Bill. Nice exposure, light, and detail. I also like the setting. I feel the opposite of Carol. I like the far water being straight.

Nice comp. Wish the bird was more parallel to the camera.

Nice shot of the GBH Bill.
Not that I have a vote either. But perhaps croping
out the water at the top. But If that makes the image appear to tight in the frame.
Add a little canvas to the top but with out the water.Just a thought
