Hi All,

I took this shot at Bear River Migratory Refugee, Utah.

I am still trying to understand which wing positions are good for Flight Photography. Kind of liked this one.

At least the bird was coming towards me when I took this shot. This was my major drawback with previous flight shots.

Do let me know your comments on the same.

Hello Krishna,
Your image looks sharp, but a little on the warm side. You stated the bird was coming towards you but it looks
like it was banking away at the moment you took the shot. Keep it up and you will get the image you are striving for.

Hi Tim,

Thanks

Khrishna....I like your image> I think the wing position looks good to me. I do think you might consider changing the hue of the sky

I think that is a good Idea, I will try it

Thanks
