Taken in heavy overcast conditions. And no I didn't desaturate the background, overcast water looks that lifeless :)

Nice sharp shot even though your lighting was not optimal, Dvir! Well done - a keeper in my books!

I like the image, I have just downloaded it and applied a curves layer, placing an anchor point on the left hand set of shadows I raised the marker about 3 clicks, I think this lifts the image nicely.
(Just a personal observation I think the frame is a little heavy, I think 1 -2 pixels would be fine)

Hi Dvir, great wingspread shown here, and I like motion blur of the water. Just enough exposure on the underwings to show detail. Well captured.

Superb flight shot.Looks like ringed for study purpose.

Thanks all for the help, I reworked it a bit, now it is brighter if a bit more noisy
