    This is one from the loch a couple of weeks ago, when we had some decent light. The bird is in winter plumage.

    Very effective use of DOF - the white bird really stands out sharply against the soft background!

    Agree with all that has been said. Bird really works well against that background. My only wish was that the head was turned just a little more.

    Outstanding flight image, William. Like the wing position and fanned tail. Lovely BG.

    Beautiful! Great flight pose, lovely light, good exposure. The bird really pops against the BG. Very nicely done.
