Thanks Paul, Else and Suvendra for taking time to look and comment.. My tail sort of burnt out on the photo. I was above the bird on the pier so the sun was really bright. I took several shots and thought this one was the best.. I was panning pretty fast that day..lol I wanted to get some shore birds but they didn't turn out as well as I wanted.. The light watercolor effect I thought gave it more of an art photo since I had some burn out on the tail... Appreciate all you comments.. Thanks again.
