OK, so the idiom used as the title does not fit when its' real meaning is taken into account, but I thought it was a neat title for a subject with wings folded in a prayer poseAnother one from the bone-chilling cold New Year's morning session. BTW, what looks like shimmer in the background actually was the, certainly not "heat shimmer" with those cold temps?
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/3200s., f/4.5, ISO 800, natural early morning light, handheld, just about FF (cropped a bit below and left). Some eye doctor work to the eye to our right (enhanced the iris between the pupil and white feathers) and added a catchlight to it (borrowed and modified from the other eye). Baited.
