Minimal PP- pretty much straight out of the camera and sharpening. Did clone small twig from RLC.

Beautiful light, perfect wing position, painterly BG. Amazing in-camera comp for a flight shot. Just about perfect, except maybe for an apple snail in his beak.:c3:

Very nice flight shot of Limpkin in beautiful golden light. Love the wing position and stretched out neck. Depth of field looks really good for 7.1 for such a large bird as well.

Great light and BG. Love the wing position and the catchlight. Framing works for me. Some of the whites look just the tiniest bit hot to me. TFS

Nice job at getting the bird in that flight position without any cropping. Really like the light and that background.

Nice look at this cool bird in flight. The colors and details look fantastic and I like the flight pose and BG.
Well captured Gail
