    Hi Ted, Beautifully sharp on the eye and a good EXP. You even caught a perfect head angle. The wing postion is, however, about as bad as can be... Either wings full up or--better yet--wings in the full downstroke position would have yeilded a contest winner...

    Thanks for the comments Artie. I totally agree. Looking through my other flight shots none were as sharp as this one.
    I will keep trying.

    You are most welcome. Living on LI, you should have a few more chances on these. Good luck!
