Great detail, very pleasing background of slightly OOF seawater and strong eye contact..... all the hallmarks of a BIF keeper. This demonstrates that even a common bird can be a frameable if captured well in action. Big congrats, Toto!!!
BTW, as posted, it's a bit dark on my LCD. A quick levels adjustment of say 0, 1.0, 244 will make it pop even more.

Wow .. thanks mastah for the week's award and the rest of the birdnuts for the very pleasant comments I have now adjusted the levels to Mastah's specs. It becomes too bright on my monitor. I guess I have to recalibrate my LCD once again. |
