Just great Bonnie This brought a big smile to my face !!!! Don't recall seeing a lady in a pose like that ...... and what an expression !!!!!

[Arthur Morris]

Wow, this is fantastic. Wish for a little better eye contact with the hen. The framing, EXP, and sharpness are exceptional.

later and love, artie

[Van Hilliard]

Great action, exposure and sharpness. It may not have the ideal head position but I'd be glad to add it to my portfolio if I had taken it.

[Jim Poor]

Looks like something scared her clean out of the water. Really cool action!

[Gus Cobos]

WOW, did she trip? Love the capture...:D

[Bonnie Block]

WOW, did she trip? Love the capture...:D

:D;) I think love is in the air, Gus! (literally!) and it also gives new meaning to the phrase "Hard to Get" ;):):)

[Bonnie Block]

Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback. Sure wished she had tuned her head just a wee bit. I have others of her in the air I will post--not quite as dramatic as this one.

[Fabs Forns]

[Harold Davis]

[Andrew George]

I love these type of posing for the photographer, crazy. Great image., If anything could be better, it would have been if the head had turned a little bit different. But sometimes it's not our decision, the **** birds sometimes don't do as we want
