    COREY:

    Your trumpeter is sharp, nicely exposed, nice pose,like the drops. Excellent separation from the BG.

    Where was this taken?

    Cheers

    Nice pose and angle. Exposure on the white looks spot on. Love the dripping water from the feet.

    Very nice shot.
    I really like the flight pose, exposed very well, great background, and I love the dripping water from it's feet.
    Well done.

    Very nice, and I like the translucence of the wing feathers. Great job with the whites. I too dig the water drops, but I agree that I would clone out the one almost touching the corner. With good panning technique you can sometimes get away with slower shutter speeds than one would expect for BIFs.

    Hi Corey, good flight pose showing off the wings, and well placed in the frame too. Exposure spot on, as is the sharpness, and of course the trailing droplets add to the image.

    I like the exposure, sharpness, trailing water drops and composition. Excellent image Corey.

    Excellent image of this species in flight. The background really rocks!
    Agree about ditching the water drop in the lower right hand corner...
