Awesome crisp colors - love being able to see through the webbing of the feet and the comp is quite nice. The bird really stands out from its surroundings

Expertly done. Hope you kept a hand for yourself! Tough to get one this crisp in any kind of sea.

Rob,
Great shot, he looks like he is water skiing. I was looking for the tow rope. This species has a very interesting face and you captured it well. :toast:
