Grandpa/Danbailey:

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your comments. I so enjoy receiving or reading the various comments by our fellow members as they range from one extreme to the other. It was my intention by including a blurred foreground to provide depth to the shot without distracting from the subject. Otherwise, how far off into infinity does this water go? How big is it? How deep is it? What does it have to do with the bird itself? Without the foreground I think the shot suffers. The amount of sky, actually the ocean beyond, I'll give you that; it could be cropped.

Again, thanks so much for your comments.

David
