Starting to go through the images we got on Saturday morning aboard the Death Star driven by Darth Vadar (James).

Believe me that James will get you to the spoons which to me have been an addiction.

Even on Saturday with the bad weather, we got spoons.

Here's one of them ...

How about white spots on left of image? clone or burn them out? (no clue what they are)

Great photo! Personally, I would leave the background alone. I like the natural look. They are probably reflections on the water. When the backgrounds are too perfect then all these photos start to look the same. The slight blur in the wing tips also adds a sense of motion. Just my opinion and I'm sure others will feel differently. ~John

Mike,

Other than those white spots in background its a very nice image.

[Robert Amoruso]

The white spots are foam. We saw them on Tuesday when I was out. I am for cloning them Michael.

I agree. at first the wings bothered me but as I look at it it works well. I might not shoot at F 5.6 becaause of the DOF, but that is a personal opinion. I agree with the nits.

What a great looking bird. The small nits are mentioned. Other then that love the photo and the colors are WOW.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

A great image indeed, love the detail as well as the neck position.

Very lovely flight image Michael and I agree about cloning the foam. Beautiful timing !!!!
