Great image Nico, one of the best of this species in flight I have seen. I find it very difficult to show detail when they are flying for some reason. Maybe a touch over-sharpened and I would add a touch of space on top.

Hey Dumay, for some reason i have cropped to tight, noticed it after processing :e3 Will check out the sharpening it looks fine on my monitor ? Will go back to PS and add some on top :w3

Lovely Nico, great wing position nearly tuching the water. Agree on a bit more space would make this even better.

Stunning fly by captured! Like the colours and feather detail. Agree that the extra space looks better.
