Good ones, Chad! Excellent light and water-level perspective. Hope your camera didn't end-up In The Drink in taking these...

Best Wishes,
Steve

Very impressive. I always find birds with white feathers extremely hard to expose for properly. You've done a great job here.

Well you sure came back with a bang Mr Chad

To look at a picture and like it is one thing, to stop and study the picure is a 'Great' thing, #2 has me studying

Technically sensational IMOHO! Low and slow, very very nice.

These are fantastic - some of the best posted here on FM, especially for a bird with a lot of white. The details in the whites is super. Thanks for sharing these!

They are both very nice shots, Chad, with the second being my favorite. Great colors and detail. Man, that beak is huge. As somebody said, their beak can hold more than their belly can.

Socrate

P.S.I don't see any "nuptial tubercle" bump on the beack, so I gather Anthony wasn't with you.

Nope nothing got wet

Thanks!

I like the second shot the best also, they were both close in the running to get printed, but the second is taking the lead. Thank you!

Its not Karl I'm worried about, its Terry D. He thinks I'm shooting a Nikon.. Did he go A-wall or what

Thank you sir!
