Nice high key processing and nice pose but this looks like a significant crop?

Hi Joe, cool white on white here. Excellent exposure on the whites which brings out the feather detail on the underwings. A unique flying pose with those legs dead straight.

I like it too and the IQ looks fine too me. Love the high key and the unusually grey leading edge of the underwings.
with love, artie

Those transparent wings look great. Nice pose. Love the high key treatment as well.

White on white is tough, but I think there's just enough contrast between the bird and sky to make this work hanging onto. The feathers on the spread wings are really nice,
and the legs add a nice pop of color and contrast. The eye/lores look good.
