I found this guy sitting along a pier in california. He let me get within about a foot of him and then flew off. I really like this shot but feel its missing something or something. I cant out my finger onit. What do you think?

Shot with Olympus E500 . I dont remember what settings I used and the exif info seems to have disapeared

Cropped a little to tightly and missing part of his bill or beak. Did you post process? Loks a little contrasty on my screen. A bit of fill flash may have filled in the shadow voids nicely.

To tell you the truth this was how the shot was taken. I did clone out some fo the shadows that fell accross his back all ready. I didnt even think to bring a flash with me as this shot was taken about 11 a.m. We were on a road trip on the harleys and didnt have a lot of room to carry equipment with us
