Very apt title James, lovely timing and exposure, great detail retained in the whites and like the way it all sits in the frame...that's quite a stick he's fumbling with !
really nice capture! Strong store telling, good exposure. I love his head angle and his position in the frame.
James:
Love all the interesting aerodynamics going on here, with flared feathers, stalling feathers on top of wing, etc. Head position great and unusual for a stick toting image. Impressive stick, and the comp is just right.
Great to see you posting.!!
Cheers

Terrific flight action and the breeding plumage and huge stick are a big plus. I really like the comp you chose.
It's nice to know that you are taking photographers to photography locations other than Alafia for spoonies!
Strong image! There is so much to like about this. Great shooting.
Hey James. You really nailed a great comp here with the intersecting angles created by the bird and the stick. I really like the curled wing feathers and the incoming posed feet too. I enjoyed our afternoon here and look forward to more hooptie deux days!
Wow James!
With such a common bird here in FL you really stepped it up to show something different.
Lovely exposure job in what seems like harsh light.

Nice composition. That is another rookery that I got some good images from. :) Stick is a bonus.
I like the effects of the full air brakes, exposure, breeding colour, stick and composition. A real beauty James!
