An Egyptian
At this location, the Egyptian Geese like to have their fly arounds an island where the herons and egrets nest. I managed to capture this guy as he flew against distant pine trees. I quite liked the darker BG.

The slight angle towards us really helps, as does the full down pose, colorful eye, and dark background.
Well done.

Wonderful shot. Great wing position, and everything else. The green BG puts it over the top.
Lovely shot Stu, nice timing and excellent details/exposure.
Hi Stu - I agree with all the accolades above. Love the colors and light. Looks like you're enjoying the lens and having great success too.

Hi Stu, nice one, like the rich, glossiness of the black wings.

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
Thank you all so much for the kind words. Always appreciated. It was really unexpected on this image.
This is a very rich image of this species in flight. I enjoy the darker bg colors and tones. The technicals of the image cannot be better imo. Great job with the exposure too Stuart.
Awesome image Stuart!
All been said . Excellent Image.
I am usually not a big fan of the wings half down pose but with the bird angling slightly towards us I really like it. Sharp, perfect EXP. All in all a powerful image.
Just gorgeous Stuart! Not much more I can add.
Excellent image Stuart! I like the flight angle, IQ, dark BG and composition.
Wow Stuart, another great Egyptian!! The detail and exposure look great. Well captured and nice eye contact.
Thank you all so much guys and girls.
Killer image, Stu. Love the rich whites and glossy blacks. IQ is top notch and the bird just pops against that bg. Late to the party, but I'm glad I stopped by :)
