Happened upon this frame from James Shadle's boat last year. Never got around to processing it before. Go figure!

Great pose. Nice colors and sharp too. The feet and rear of the bird maybe could use a little brightening.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Always thinning files here. Nice one Doug. I like the slight lifted head and eye contact as well as the bg.

[Bill Dix]

A beauty, Doug. Love the wing position and flight angle, and the bird is nicely set apart from the lovely BG.

[Mital Patel]

superb shot doug.
how i wish where neck and wing joins either the light green was darker or the upper dark patch was lighter green

[EzhilSuresh]

Beautiful shot. I like the bird stand out of the background.

[Nick Palmieri]

Gorgeous capture Doug. I love the angle of the bird and the wing position. He stands out nicely from the BG. Exposure looks great. Great to find these hidden keepers in your old files!

I just love the pink on green. The IQ is terrific as is the head angle. His eye is looking right at you! No nits from me,

[Robert Holguin]

Wonderful image. Excellent flight pose, love the background, great light, and excellent comp.
Well done.

[dankearl]

Very nice focus and DOF, Doug.
Everything sharp and a nice POP from the BG.

[Sandesh R.Dhareshwar]

Beautiful image with sharp details i love the colours here

Doug, great angles...both shooting and the subject. I like how we can see both underside and top side of the wings. colors, IQ, exposure...everything superb as always.

[Doug Brown]

I very much appreciate the feedback everyone!

Just Kidding-looks like we pressed the shutter at the same time! and of course it is a great shot :w3 it's amazing to see we almost get exactly the same frame every single time ;)

Ah! when I first saw the photo, I did get the deja vu feeling.
