Good capture Joe. Nice to have broken cloud in the background. It would be even better had the bird been flying a little bit more towards you but the bird did not know that. Good work. Regards, Ian
This image isn't a wowzer for me. The wing position is not pleasing. It's flying a little bit away from you. I am not seeing really good feather details as in many of your other images. I do like the varied sky, and glad you were able to get some light up under the wing.
Up, Up, and away...
Joseph Przybyla thanked for this post
