 He was really patient. I only had a 80mm lens with me and I had to sorta creep down the beach, taking a shot every other step, praying each time I could get a little closer without him taking flight. Then I somehow saved the last one I took and couldn't enter it. I was hoping to set up next night & wait for him to come back, but the dog spooked him & he decided he didn't like that spot anymore. Hope this does ok, but no one will know the story so it might look pretty boring. PP was crop, curves, resize & usm

I like this shot and maybe if you cropped a little off the top making the bird the first thing your eye connects with

Makes one want to fall in love or recall the feeling. Such a wonderful, moody photo. Hope it hangs in a great position in your home.
