So lovely! It pops into my life! O blazes, you lucky duck! What a thing! Beautifully captured...

[Sid Garige]

Stunning IQ as usual Chas. Excellent pose and wonderful details.

[Grace Scalzo]

What a pose, kicked up snow and habitat as well. Lots of fun to see this one.

[Jamie Douglas]

IQ in whites does not get much better than this Chas. Love the kicked up snow.

This high jumper image looks familiar :). Am home and jet-lagged.... Sweet pose with snow flying and perfect techs.

Chas:

Great pose captured, nice techs, good sense of environment without distracting.

I assume there was some clutter below the bird, as it would be fun to see how high above the ground he was.

Cheers

Hi Chas, love the 'dancing' pose, tack sharp, and those whites are spot on. I do like the flying snow, and wish you had posted this larger. :w3
