Thank you, Alandra. Yes, that eye stayed open and kept watching me so I didn't want to cause him to fly away.

Thank you for your nice remark. It reminds of something created by a committee! lol!

Thank you, Carol. I forgot to mention that the background is the side of the USS Lexington that is in Corpus Christi, TX and has been turned into a museum.

The lighting came from two directions--the sun above and the reflection from the water below.

Another funny photo. I like the lighting.
