These are the best of my outing from a local lagoon this morning.

    I like them both. Nice to see birds that I never see here.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    The second one hands down! Excellent detail, striking eye contact, composition; it all works. The first one is obviously a beautiful bird, and it would have worked fine if more of that face were showing.
