Hi Troy, lovely light, and very well timed for the landing. Excellent pose, sharp with good underwing detail.

Hello Troy.

Superb image. The light was coming over your right shoulder about 20 degrees from directly behind you. That gives the wonderful shading on both the stump and the bird. Well done.
