Good shot, but, is there a reason for the bird in the center? What would happen with the bird a little bit further on the right (since he's looking left)... Just trying to be constructive :-)

@xavier cardell: Great suggestion. I was so excited to find an animal without a huge crowd gawking at it that I just shot away! Thanks.

@Laurie: Thanks Laurie. I liked your gentle currents shot. Did you use a filter to step down the exposure. I don't have one so I end up with less gentle currents or have to go out at night!
