very very good. alkış...

What a beauty. I wish there were Stilts on my afternoon strolls. This is a stunning flight shot; no nits. (I'm a sucker for profiles, but I can just hear some of the HA wonks wishing for another 1/2 degree head turn.)

Killer wing position. A later stroll might have produced sweeter light. I am fine with this head angle but would not mind a bit more head turn toward us.

with love, HA-Wonk

[John Mack]

The stilt looks great against that blue water. I do like the framing.
