Good timing, and it looks great for an iso 1600 shot. You have good subjects nearby for this side challenge.

This has great light. I try to frame animals and people "looking" toward the center of the image. In this case, swing a little to the right, or crop to have the bird not looking out of the frame.
It's interesting to see and learn about all the different birds from far off places in this side challenge.
ETA Oops, I see that Jedusi has already said this after I posted.

Nice find Julie!
The light and the reflection in the water is excellent. You were not only fortunate, but prepared this time.

Perfect, even to the little drops of water in the whiskers.

Love this one. What fun. You used a good group of settings to shoot this, and the scene is precious too.

This was a nice shot to begin with, and your attention to detail in the processing makes it even better. The water adds a lot to the effectiveness of this image.

This is cute. Having him pose on the edge put the background out of focus and makes the lizard stand out nicely. There are a lot of them on the Bahama islands, but I didn't know that they were also in Florida. I lived in Delray in1970, and don't remember seeing them at that time.

You're right, the low angle light is in exactly the right area of the image to make it just fantastic. Great shot, beautiful beast.

That's a fine animal shot. The bright background brings it to the front of the image in a ominous looking sort of way.

Washing your face off in the local mud pond? : )
Cool shot, and the before and after is a big jump. I like the edge of the water in the hands. It looks a lot like mercury.
