Descripti

(The other post "You Turkey! " was a duplicate, sorry)

Sanibel, Florida
This fellow kept following me on my morning beach walk.
(I didn’t think I looked THAT bad in the morning…)
I backed up to get an image; he came closer.
I backed up further; he came closer yet.
Ok, portrait time!

Specific Feedback

I was happy with the detail in the exquisite morning light

Gorgeous light, Sandy, and the detail is superb. Very well done portrait.

I like the detail in his head and face. The BG, lighting and composition are right on.
I have these guys around here but I can never get that close. Nor do I have the lens.
They seem to be real cautious all the time, so its funny to hear he was wanting to get closer.

His buddies weren’t circling, were they? Stay moving just in case. LOL
THANKS

Skip - there are often many people on the Florida beaches, so these guys are very accustomed to that.
"His buddies weren’t circling, were they? Stay moving just in case "

Very nice Sandy! I love that beautiful ugly type that you’ve captured so well.

I had a giggle. Keep moving.
