Jim, a flight photo of this species doesn't get much better.
Very nice.

[John Cooper]

A great flight image Jim and sharp as a tack! The lighting is spot on and wing position ideal - superb..!!

[PhilCook]

Wow, amazingly sharp, bright but not blown either, simply brilliant Jim

[Joe Senzatimore]

Not an easy shot to get. Very well done. Just seems a bit over processed????

[Satish Ranadive]

Excellent flight shot.Love the wing position,lights,details and composition.

It looks nice great pose and HA. It seems that the sky was darkened but remained lighter at the primaries. It would be an easy fix.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Wonderful shot Jim! I would say to tone the contrast down just a bit. Otherwise, very nice capture :)

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

That's the shot I would love to get. Nice wingspread with a great show of her belly and eye contact. may be a little over sharpened?

[Frank Schauf]

Really nice flight shot and great details, Jim.
