It was such a treat to be able catch this bird in the early morning sun which shows the variation in color of its wings and the extraordinary color of its eye.
This is a new composition decision for me to crop out some of the bird to create a more dynamic image. Or put another way – to try to salvage a good picture when the bird flew out of the picture frame. I had to add more blue sky on the bottom which of course for photoshop is a no brainer.
This guy was making lots of noise – it was hard to miss him!
i took this photo while on a boat ride through the 10,000 islands in the west portion of the Everglades National Park.
I took this picture while on a boat in midday – not my favorite options to take pictures. I guess the subject is too compelling for me (and probably others.)
I took two different boat trips through the 10,000 islands of the western portion of the Everglades National Park. My main reaction was that if New Orleans had kept all of the original barrier islands the way they were, the force of the hurricanes would have been abated. Nature has her ways.
The picture of this Double-crested Cormorant was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
This picture was taken on the beach right after sunrise at the Estero Critical Wildlife Area.
