    Default Touchdown!

    Baltimore scores first, but since I don't have a shot of a Raven, I figured this Royal Tern would make an appropriate post for Superbowl Sunday. From Bowman's Beach in November.

    This is even more appropriate! A very enthusiastic ref (black and white) calling a touchdown. Were you saving this just for today's game?

    I would add jut a touch of CW rotation (based on the bg and wingtips).

    Cool head on pose and great hovering wing position. Techs look good and yes to a little rotation. Nice one.

    Love the wing and tail display here, Bill. That said, something for me just isn't working here. Your images have been popping off the screen lately and this one is good but not a popper for me.
