From a week ago in Gulfport. This bird was in some pretty junky surroundings, so I waited to get only one frame in fairly clean surroundings. 75% of original, admittedly a bit tight, cropped from top right. Larger image included.

I think this crop worked well, I like the low perspective and you have good detail and background in the larger image, well done.
